CHARACTERS OF ELAPHURUS AND OTHER CERVIDiE. 201 



The normal labial and ocular vibrissce axe present ; the genal 

 tuft is represented by two bristles beneath the posterior corner of 

 the eye and as low as the line of the mouth ; the interramai tuft 

 is composed of thi-ee bristles a little behind a line joining the 

 corners of the mouth. 



The preorhital gland is a small shallow depression, as in 

 M. nemorivagus and M. hricenii. 



The tarscd gland is represented by a small tuft of hair, as in 

 M. nemorivagus. 



The metatarsal gland is absent as in M. nemorivagus and 

 M. bricenii. 



The pedal glands on the fore foot are much larger and deeper 

 than in M. nemorivagus and M. bricenii, resembling those of 

 0. virglnianus spinosus in depth, but having a shorter orifice. 

 The walls are thickly hairy. The heel-tie also is lower than in 

 the other species of Mazama and is altogether naked, and the 

 heels of the feet are long and the hoof moderately so. (Text- 

 fig. 13, A.) 



The pouch on the hind foot is larger than on the fore foot and 

 lias thickly hairy walls as in M. bricenii. In this foot also the 

 heel-tie is naked, the heel is long, but the hoof is short. (Text- 

 fig. 13, B.) 



This species diiiers from the other two species of Mazama in 

 the large size of the gland of the fore foot. The nakedness of the 

 heel-ties on both fore and hind feet is a character unrecorded 

 elsewhere in the Telemetacarpalian deer. 



Genus PuDU Gray. 

 PuDU PUDU Mol. (p. 967). 



The head of this species is remarkable for the forwaixl growth 

 of the hair from between the ears to the summit of the crown, 

 where it meets and forms a crest with the backwardly growing 

 hair of the muzzle and forehead. 



The rhinarium is tolerably large and lightly areolated ; the 

 supranarial portion is mostly naked above, the hair only en- 

 croaching upon it to a slight extent posteriorly ; the infranarial 

 portion is mesially grooved ; it is narrower than the supranarial 

 portion, but a little wider than the space between the tolerably 

 widely separated nostrils. (Text-fig. 14, B.) 



The facial vibrissce are represented by some shorter mystacial 

 and submental and longer superciliary and subocular bristles, 

 there being no trace of genal or interramai tufts. 



The preorhital gland is a comparatively small and shallow 

 pouch, opening on a. naked area a little in front of the eye. 



The ears are rounded, the expanded portion being supported by
