CnARACTERS OF KLAPllURUS AND OTIJER CEKVIDM.

Oervus hortulorum Svvinh. 



As was to be expected, the feet and glands of this species differ 

 in no respect from those of the Japanese species (Cermis sika) 

 I described in 1910. 



In one example the labial and ocular vibrissse are normal)}' 

 developed ; but the genal and interi-amal tufts are absent. The 

 rhinarium has a considerable portion of its upper surface, nearly 

 half, overgrown with hairs from the muzzle, which form a convex 

 curve between the nostrils ; the infranarial portion is tolerably 

 Avide, a little wider than the space between the nostrils.

A. Rhinarium of Wapiti ( Cervus canadensis), from the front. 



B. The same from above. 



Two examples showed an interesting variation in the structure 

 of the penis. In both the urethra was inferior and marked 

 distally by a distinct ridge ending in a slightly upturned point 

 as in other typical Cervine deer; and in one specimen the 

 truncated apex above the urethra was, as usual, lobate, the tips 

 of the lobes folding inwards so as to make a groove where they 

 meet above the point of the urethra. But in the other specimen 

 this terminal portion of the glans was simple and unlobed — a 

 very unusual occurrence. (Text- fig. 17, 0, D.) 



In an example of C. sika the glans penis resembled that of the 

 first-described specimen of C. hortulorum.
