Icon. F. Cuv. Anim. Lithog. Nobis from specimens 

 in the Paris Museum. 



Inhabit Java? Bengal, chiefly the Jungleterry district. 



780. 10. C. Unicolor, Nob. (Gona Rusa.) Horns long, 

 slender ; antlers much developed ; pedicle at base ; rather 

 elevated ; basal antler on the burr, curving forward, up- 

 ward, and inwards ; half way up the beam, second antler 

 short, directed inwards ; ears broad, pointed ; muzzle 

 broad ; throat covered with long bristly hair ; shoulders 

 higher than croup ; tail rather short ; colour entirely brown ; 

 size large. 



We have applied Professor Schreber's distinctive name 

 of Unicolor to this species, because his description does not 

 positively determine the animal, and the Gona is entirely 

 of one colour.
