930 MR, R. LYDEKKER ON A NEW . Deel, 
of which runs a series of small round whitish spots ; limbs with a 
black network enclosing large round reddish-white spots; tail 
striped with black at the base, uniform coralline-red in its posterior 
half; lower parts uniform white. In the adult female (Brava) 
now before me the upper parts are of a nearly uniform isabelline | 
colour, with mere traces of the dark stripes and spots of the young, 
all of which, however, can still be distinguished, and the tail is 
coloured like the body. 
The following are the dimensions of the two specimens de- 
scribed by me; both belong to the Genoa Museum :—

The type specimen came from Brava (R. Brenner, one of the 
companions of C, yon der Decken). The types of FE. edwardsi 
are noticed simply as from Somaliland (Révoil). A single specimen 
from the Tana River (Chanler) has been recorded by Stejneger. 
I have lately been able to examine two specimens, one from Brava, 
the original locality (Bottego), and one from between Obbia and 
Berbera (Robecchi). : 
4, On an apparently New Deer from North China, in the 
Menagerie of the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey. 
By R. Lypexxer, B.A., F.R.S., &e. 
[Received September 10, 1896.] 
(Plates XLVIII. & XLIX.) 
During a visit to Woburn Abbey in August last, His Grace the 
Duke of Bedford directed my attention to a large male Deer 
recently purchased from a dealer, and said to have been obtained 
from the neighbourhood of Pekin. The animal, although not fully 
adult, is larger than any example of the Red Deer that I hare seen, 
but appears undoubtedly to belong to the same (Elaphine) group 
of the genus Cervus, although its antlers are only ‘in the stage of 
development permanently characteristic of the Pseudawine group— 
that is to say, they have but four tines each. At this time the 
general colour of the fur—which is short, smooth, and glossy— 
was bright reddish bay, and there was no trace of a light disk on
