lO PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS: ZOOLOGY. 



Mr. Prichard confirms Hatcher's statement regarding the absence of this 

 animal south of the Rio Santa Cruz. He found it "very common in the

 we found them about the foothills" (/. c, p. 258). 



Order UNGULATA. 



The Ungulates are represented in the existing fauna of southern Pata- 

 gonia by two species only, the Guanaco, belonging to the Camelidas, and 

 the Guamul, a Cervid. 



Family CERVID^. 



The Deer of Patagonia constitutes a peculiar type restricted to the
