CEKVID^ 83 



Type iu Paris Museum. 



Stated to be very similar in form and coloration to the 

 Formosan race, but as large as the Indian sambar, from which 

 it differs by the more sombre brown colour, and the longer 

 and more bushy tail. In the type the antlers measure 

 30^ along the outer curve, and 5J inches in basal girth. 



No specimen in collection.

Type in Paris Museum. 



Closely allied to, and perhaps really inseparable from, the 

 next race. Brooke was of opinion that the Marianne deer 

 were originally imported from Luzon, but the evidence is 

 by no means conclusive. The name mariannus antedates 

 philippinus.
