ME. H. J. ELWES 017 THE 



occasionally assume an elaphine character, is a race of Cervus 

 asiaticus, then I think the synonymy and distribution of the 

 Asiatic races will stand as follows, though I confess that no 

 characters can be given by which these races can be exactly 

 defined, and probably they will be fouod to intergrade.
