148 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



the ears rather short and obtuse, whitish within, dull buff 

 outside ; the colour of the coat is wholly brown sepia- 

 gray, clearer on the throat and darkest on the neck and 

 legs ; the tail is three inches long, black above, and white 

 beneath. 



The horns being absent, this most essential point re- 

 mains undetermined ; but the Baron conjectures that a small 

 skull, with very short pedicles, and, nevertheless, supporting 

 horns nearly as long as those of the Kijang, with a distinct 

 burr, and a small anterior antler turning inwards, might 

 belong to this species. 



Blainville's Muntjak. (Cervus Subcornutus.) This 

 species was established by Dr. de Blainville, from a skull 

 in Surgeons' College, London. The horns resemble those 

 of the Sumatra specimens, but smaller, with a regular 

 burr, a small process in front, and the point of the beam 

 turned back, and not towards its opposite horn; the pedicles 

 are short, strong, very prominent, but not much prolonged 

 on the face, and no canines are seen in the maxillae. We 

 omitted to draw this specimen, but believe it much smaller 

 than the Kijang, and feel inclined to consider it as belong- 

 ing to the Philippine. 



The Ubi Muntjak. ? (Cervus Aureus, Nob.J In Mr. 

 Bullock's collection we found another stuffed specimen of a 

 female, which at first sight might be taken for an antelope, 

 but the superciilious spots of dark strong hair, and square 

 forehead, leave no doubt of its affinity to Muntjak. It was 

 three feet four inches in length, with slender elegant formed 

 legs, in height about two feet to the shoulder ; the head 

 was seven inches long, the nose tapering, and the muzzle not 

 black ; above each eye a streak of strong reclining glossy 

 brown hair ; the lachrymary opening large; the eyes rather 

 nearer the muzzle than in the former ; the tail four inches 

 long, formed a black tuft ; the ears were broad, somewhat 

 naked within, and four inches long; the shoulders, back,
