946 OLDFIELD THOMAS 
Head and body (c) 880 mm.; tail, without terminal hairs 103 
mm., with hairs 145; hind-foot, including hoof 288; head 220; 
ear, above crown 76; muzzle to anterior canthus of eye 120; 
to burr of horns 250; horn-pedicle, measured behind 59; longest 
horn 53. Elbow to tip of fore-hoof 353. 
Size as large as in the Himalayan Muntjacs. 
General colour of body brown, finely speckled with yellow; 
face uniform dark brown, the centre of the crown, the horn- 
pedicles, occiput, and the region round the bases of the ears 
bright yellow; a black line running up the inner side of each 
horn pedicle. Neck uniform brown. Fore-legs brown proximally, 
darkening to black on the metacarpals, but the terminal inch 
next to the hoof is white all round, and there is a line of 
scattered white hairs running up the front of the leg as far as 
the carpal joint. Hind-legs similarly coloured, except that there 
is a marked white line running up the anterior edge of the 
tibia. Tail short, its upper side deep black, its sides and lower 
surface pure white, the two colours forming a very striking 
contrast. Under surface of body brown, mixed with whitish on 
the chin, and inner sides of fore and hind limbs. 
Lachrymal glands large and prominent; frontal glands on the 
other hand apparently entirely absent. 
This Muntjac is most nearly allied to C. crinifrons, Sclater (!), 
a native of Ning-po, China, agreeing with that species, alone 
of the genus, in its brown instead of red or yellow general 
colour and its black and white instead of red and white tail. 
It differs however by not possessing the peculiar frontal tuft 
characteristic of C. crinifrons, by the consequent clear definition 
of the face markings, by the white line running down its lower 
leg, and by its far shorter tail. 
Signor Fea is to be congratulated on his discovery of this 
magnificent addition to the fauna of Tenasserim, and it has 
given the Marquis Doria and myself sincere pleasure to connect 
his name with it.
