Cerrus hippelaphus, of Cuvier, although generally stated 

 to be a Javan form, is typified by antlers brought from 

 Sumatra by Diard, and the types of C. tunjue are also 

 Sumatra n ; but C. russa is typically Javan, while liima 

 paradoxa and C. rufits are based on representatives of this 

 deer introduced, respectively, into Mauritius and Eodriguez. 

 Deer of this type also occur in Borneo, where, however, 

 according to Brooke, they have been introduced by the 

 Malays. 



If the Javan form be racially distinct from the Sumatran 

 it should be known as C. timoriensis rusa*
