MR. R. I. POCOCK ON THE EXTERNAL 



Oervus eldi Gutlir. (p. 944). 



In two additional specimens the feet and glands resembled 

 those of the example described in 1910. 



In both specimens the buccal and ocalar vibrissse were well 

 developed. In one of them there was a single long genal and a 

 single long interramal vibrissa. In the other there were two 

 rather widely separated genals, but no interramal*. 



A. Rliinaricim of Cervus liortulorum, from tlie front. 



B. The same of Daina dama. 



C. The same from above. 



D. The same of Cervus elcli. 



The rhinarium is large. On its upper side the hair of the 

 muzzle advances in the middle as an angular growth, Avhich reaches 

 to a point approximately in a line with the middle of the nostrils. 

 The infranarial portion is wide, considerably wider than the area 

 between the nostrils. (Text-fig. 3, D.) 



Genus Axis H. Smith. 

 Axis axis Erxl. and A. porcinus Zimm. (pp. 948-950). 



Two examples of the Chital or Axis Deer {A. axis) examined 

 since 1910 show some interesting variations in the hairiness of 

 the glandular depression on the front of the pastern of the hind 

 foot. 



In the specimen originally described the walls of the depression 

 were covered with short, rather sparsely scattered hairs and the 



* I have noticed in other species of Cervidse that the genal and interramal 

 vibrissae are of inconstant occurrence within specific limits.
