Habitat Bavian Islands. Type Mus. Leyden. 



THIS species was originally described by Muller from specimens 

 collected by Diard in the Bavian Islands, to which locality the 

 species, as far as is at present known, is confined. The auditory 

 bullae in Cervus kuhli are largely inflated. By this character the 

 skull may be distinguished from that of any of the Rusine deer, 

 with the exception of C. porcinus. The skull of C. kuhli differs 

 from that of C. porcinus in having the facial portion anterior to 

 the orbits much more compressed, and the orbits much more 

 prominent. C. kuhli has proportionally much longer limbs than 

 C. porcinus ; and all the hairs of the back and sides are annulated
