OTHER NAMES APPLIED TO POJSINE DEER. 



The following is a list of names (compiled by Hollister, 

 Philippine Jo-urn. Sci. sect. D, vol. vii, pp. 41 et seq.) applied 

 by Heude to Philippine deer, in addition to those quoted 

 elsewhere in this volume. The specific names are arranged 

 alphabetically, irrespective of the genera to which they were 

 assigned by their author. Hollister remarks that, although 

 many of these names are undoubtedly synonyms, a few may 

 prove valid when, a sufficient number of specimens from the 

 typical localities are available for comparison.
