P. S. — It appears that a species of Deer, which has been named 

 CEEvrs psetidaxis, has recently been received in France from the 

 mountainous regions of the north of China and Mantcheeria. From 

 the geographical region it cannot be a true Axine, and the name 

 would imply its being an Axis-like (or spotted) species, — just possibly 

 identical with the Formosan Deer.
