The type, which is still living, differs in no appreciable external 

 characters from ordinary specimens of Cervus sika. It was ori- 

 ginally received from Tientsin, China. I have not included C. 

 euopis among the synonyms of C. sika, in the hope of attracting 

 further attention to the subject, as it would be of considerable in- 

 terest should C. sika be found inhabiting the mainland as well as the 

 islands of Japan.
