704 MR. A. H. GARROD ON LOPHOTRAGUS MICHIANUS. [Nov. 21, 



a minor sulcus. There is a break in the sulcus which separates the 

 middle and inferior external gyri a little more than an inch from the 

 anterior border of the hemisphere, which is peculiar. As in Moschus 

 and in Cervus humilis, the calloso-marginal sulcus appears on the 

 superior surface of the brain, allowing the hippocampal gyrus to 

 appear between it and the middle line. In Cervuhis muntjuc the convo- 

 lutions are slightly less developed than in Michie's Deer, and the 

 calloso-marginal sulcus is even more superficial ; it is, however, 

 narrower anteriorly. 



In its generative organs, the glans penis (fig. 3), instead of being- 

 blunt, is an elongated and slender cone, terminating much like the tip 

 of a wooden pen-holder, the urethral orifice being situated just behind 

 the extreme tip, slightly turned upwards. The Muntjacs and the 



1 l«j. u. 



Roe Deer agree with Michie's Deer in the shape of the glans ; but 

 whereas there is no trace of Cowper's glands in Capreolus and Michie's 

 Deer, they are large in Cervulus (in C. mitntjac at least). There are 

 four nipples. On the outside of the skin covering the metatarsus I 

 found in the recently dead animal a deep smegma-secreting depres- 

 sion, evidently homologous with the metatarsal glands in most Cervidse. 

 There were no tufts of hair round these ; and I cannot recognize their 

 situation in the prepared specimen of the skin. 



General Remarks. 



From what has been said above, it is evident that the Lophotragvs 

 michianus of Swinhoe is the same animal as the earlier-named Ela- 

 phodus cephalophus of A. Milne-Edwards, and that it was because 

 his specimen was a female in which the skull was wanting, at the 

 same time that the figure given by M. Milne-Edwards is from a re- 

 markably light-coloured and red skin, that Mr. Swinhoe was misled 

 as to its affinities. It seems, however, that the Ningpo animal is of 

 a greyer tint than that from Moupin ; for the description given by 

 Mr. Michie*, namely that " il is a dark iron-grey or pepper-and- 

 salt colour, like some Scotch terriers," exactly applies to the Society's 

 example, whilst the Paris skins are all decidedly chocolate, although 

 differing in tint among themselves. 



As to the affinities of Elaphodus cephalophvs, M. Milne-Edwardsf 

 has remarked that " it is intermediate between the Muntjacs and the 

 ordinary Deer, in certain respects appearing even to unite these ani- 

 mals to Hydropotes and Moschus." 



That Moschus has any close affinities with Cervulus and its allies 

 fs extremely doubtful ; and a comparison of the above description of
