NOTES ON MAMMALS IN DARJEELING DISTRICT. 127 



Cervulus muntjac, Zimm. The Barking Deer. 

 I found tills little deer very common from low elevations up to G,f <i0 

 feet. Its curious barking cry is uttered frequently throughout the 

 night, and the natives say it iloes this if there is a leopard about. The 

 Nepalese shoot this deer with hows and arrows, and u^e dogs specially- 

 trained to drive them out of the jungle. It runs with its head? 

 very low down, and is very quick in its movements, reminding cue of 

 a gigantic weasel. The native name for this is Mirgah. 



Cervus unicolor, Bech. The Sambar or Eusa Deer. 

 The sambar is common in parts of the Terai, and I have seen seme- 

 splendid heads procured there. 



Cervus dais, Erxl. The Spotted Deer- 

 Common in parts of the Terai. 



Sus cristaius, Wag. The Indian wild Boar. 

 Common in the Terai and ascending the forests to moderate eleva- 

 tions. 



Manis aurita, Hodgs. Chinese Pangolin. 

 I once bought a skin of one of these curious animals off a native,. 

 killed on Margaret's Hope Tea Estate at 5,000 feet. This was the only 

 one I saw.
