1878.] CLASSIFICATION OF THE CERVID.«. 899 



1. Cervulus muntjac. 



1780. Cervus muntjac, Zimm. Geogr. G-esch. Band ii. p. 131. 



1785. muntjak et vaginalis, Bodd. Elench. Anim. vol. i. 



p. 136. 



1867. Cervulus aureus, Jerd. Mamm. p. 264. 



1873. amostylis et tamulicus, Gray, Hand-list Rum. Mamm. 



p. 165. 



1874. muntjac, Brooke, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 38, fig. 3. 



Range. British India, Burmah, Malay peninsula, Sumatra, Java, 



Hainan, Banka, Borneo. 



This species appears to attain a larger size in Java, Sumatra, and 

 Borneo than it does on the mainland ; and I think it not improbable 

 that persistent race-characters may eventually be found, distin- 

 guishing the Muntjac of these islands from that of British India.

3. Cervulus reevesii. 



1838. Cervus reevesii, Ogilby, P.Z. S. 1838, p. 105. 

 1862. Cervulus reevesi, Swinh. P. Z. S. 1862, p. 361. 



1874. — , Brooke, P.Z. S. 1874, p. 41, fig. 5. 



Range. Southern China from latitude of Canton as far north as 

 Ningpo ; Formosa (Swinhoe). 



2. Elaphodus. 



1871. Elaphodus, Alph. M.-Edw. Nouv. Arch, du Mus. p. 93, 

 pi. 7; and Rech. Mamm. p. 353, pis. 65-67. 



1874. Lophotragus, Swinh. P. Z. S. 1874, p. 452. 



Antlers very small, unbranched, supported on slender, long, con- 

 verging pedestals. Ascending rami of the prfemaxillse very strong, 

 and articulating broadly with the nasals, to which they are inferior 

 in length. No supraorbital ridges or frontal cutaneous glands. 

 Canines in the male massive and long, curved downwards, and not 

 everted. A well-developed frontal tuft. In other respects resembles 

 Cervulus, with which genus Elaphodus may be united to form the 

 subfamily Cervulince, as proposed by Professor Garrod (P. Z. S. 

 1876, p. 765). 



Distribution. South-Eastern Palsearctic region. 



1. Elaphodus cephalophus. 



1871. Elaphodus cephalophus, Alph. M.-Edw. (loc. cit. supra). 



Hab. Moupin (David). Type, Mus. d'Hist. Nat. Paris.
