this animal alive ; and Dr. Sclater is doing it justice in his paper for 
the ‘ Transactions.’ Fig. 5 represents the antlers of a mature indi- 
vidual which I procured in South Formosa.

Cervus swinhoit. 
I have not heard of any species of usa occurring on the main of 
China ; but in Hainan the C. hippelaphus appears to abound. From 
North China we have the Cervus xanthopygus, A. M.-Edwards, the 
Elaphurus davidianus, A. M.-Edwards, and the Capreolus pygargus 
(Pall.).

Found throughout the hilly ranges of Formosa. 
The young have the ears white on their anterior surface or, some- 
times, more or less white throughout. The region of the lips is 
whitish ; and the chin and throat light buff, with a brown spot on the 
former. The abdomen and between thighs are also light buff, and 
the feet lighter red. The hair of the body is shorter; they are 
otherwise like the adult. 
The adult is of a deep brown throughout, tinged with red. The 
crown and a line down the back deep brown. Lips whitish. Chin 
and throat chestnut, with a brown patch on the former. Ears light 
buff inside, reddish brown behind. Abdomen brownish buff. Feet 
deep chestnut ; hoofs black. Hair about 1°5 inch long, thick-set, 
harsh, and a little wavy. It does not acquire horns till it is nearly 
full-grown. 
The nearest ally to this curious Antelope appears to be the Capri- 
cornis sumatrensis, of which there is a specimen in the British 
Museum. 
Capricornis crispus (T. & S.) of Japan appears to have greater 
affinity with the newly described C. caudatus, A. M.-Edwards, from 
Peking.
