PERUVIAN ROE DEER (Cariacus (furcifer) antisiensis). 

 [Dr. J. E. GRAY, F.R.S., P.Z.S. 1869, p. 498.] 



THE horns divide from the base into two branches ; the front one 

 is erect, conical, and acute, with a short conical branch on the outer 

 side, and in the middle one or two more or less elongate, basal 

 anterior or interior snags. The hinder part of the base and sheath 

 compressed, diverging horizontally into a strong, angular, tapering 

 branch, which is nearly as long as the erect one, with several 

 irregularly placed, more or less elongate, acute processes ; the upper 

 part, near the roots, with one or two cylindrical diverging branches 

 on its upper and lower sides. Like the small branches on the erect 

 part of the horn, they are not exactly similar on the two horns. 



The metatarsus is without any glandular tuft on the outside. 

 On the inner side of the hock is a large rounded tuft of such hairs. 

 The fur consists of thick, elastic, tubular quills. The skull has a well- 

 marked, deep, triangular pit in the front of the orbit. The female 

 is without horns. This animal may be called Xenelaphus huamel.
