VII. CERVUS (EUSA) TAVISTOCKI. 



Cervus (Rusa) tavistocki, Lydekker, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, 



vol. vi, p. 205, 1900. 

 Rusa tavistocki, Hollister, Philippine Journ. Sci., sect. D, vol. vii, 



p. 40, 1912. 



Typical locality not definitely known, but probably one 

 of the islands of the Philippine group. 



If this deer be a valid species, or race, and not a " sport " 

 or hybrid, it may be the same as one of those named by 

 Heude in the list on page 89. 



Apparently related to C. (R.) timoriensis, but with 

 flattened and somewhat palmated antlers, which, when fully 

 developed, show at least six points on each side ; shoulder- 

 height about 30 inches. 



As regards their special characters, the antlers are more 

 or less flattened throughout and display a marked tendency 

 to palmation. The brow-tine is much flattened, with a sharp 

 posterior edge, and on the right side is distinctly bifurcate, 

 although only imperfectly so on the left ; the outer tine of 

 the terminal fork is likewise much flattened, sharp-edged 

 behind, and trifurcate, but the inner tine on the right side is 

 conical and simple, although showing a tendency to branch 

 on the left side ; the number of points on each antler is 

 thus six. 



0. 6. 8. 2. Skin, mounted. Type. The stag to which 

 this skin belonged was living, together with two or three 

 other similar deer, in the park at Woburn Abbey for about 

 two years. Presented ly the Duke of Bedford, K.G., 1900.
