46 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON CERVUS CHILENSIS. [Feb. 2, 
ceedings’ would appear, from what is stated (P. Z. S. 1849, p. 64), 
to have been the stuffed specimen now in the Derby Museum at 
Liverpool *. 
** But subsequently (Cat. Ruminants, p. 89) Dr. Gray speaks of 
the type of Capreolus leucotis as being in the British Museum. 
The skin thus referred to belongs undoubtedly to Cervus chilensis, 
and is registered in the British Museum as from ‘ Valparaiso. Pre- 
sented by the Earl of Derby.’ But in the ‘ Hand-list’ (J. s. c.) it is 
stated to be from “ Patagonia.” 
“Tn his recent writings Dr. Gray has confused the synonyms of 
Cervus chilensis with those of Cervus antisiensis of D’Orbigny, as 
will be seen by the following list of the terms he has lately applied 
to the latter. 
‘““CERVUS ANTISIENSIS:

Hand-l. of Edent. &c. p. 159 (1873). 
“‘ Furcifer chilensis, Gray, Ann. N. H. xiii. p. 332 (1874). 
“Mr. Whitely has sent home from Tinta and the neighbouring 
Andes of Peru, which he has lately explored, several examples of 
this species, amongst which was the monstrous-horned male upon 
which Dr. Gray established his genus Anomalocera sive Xenelaphus. 
** Mr. Whitely writes to me that this Deer is called ‘ Ciervo’ (not 
Oteidos, as miswritten by Dr. Gray, Ann. N. H. 1874), and is found 
in large troops at a higher elevation than C. peruvianus. 
“Besides this, Mr. Whitely has likewise obtained in Western 
Peru heads of two other species of Deer, upon which Dr. Gray has 
established his Cervus whitelyi and C. peruvianus. 
“« The synonyms of these species stand as follows :— 
“ CERVUS WHITELYI. 
“ Cervus whitelyi, Gray, Aun. N. H. xii. p. 163 (1873). 
“ Coassus whitelyi, Gray, Hand-l. of Edent. &c. p. 162, t. xxxii. 
fig. 2. 
«This species is based upon a single skull of a female obtained 
near Cosnipata in the Peruvian Andes. As Dr. Gray remarks, it 
appears to belong to the section Coassus, which embraces Cervus 
rufus and its allies. As no Deer of this form has yet been recog- 
* Mr. T. J. Moore, the Curator, writes me as follows :—‘‘ We have the type 
of Shige! leucotis, Gray, P. Z.S.Mamm. pl. xii. Its height at the shoulder is 
36 inches.”
