Persian Fallow Deer. 



Typical locality Luristan Province of Persia. 



Larger than D. dama; the colour mitch brighter (as 

 bright as in the Indian chital), with the row of elongated 

 whitish spots running on each side of the dark median line 

 of the back in the former coalescing into a continuous band, 

 and the black on the upper surface of the tail narrower and 

 confined to the root ; antlers (fig. 12) of a totally different 

 type, being somewhat expanded at the origin of the trez- 

 tine, which is large and situated close to the very short 

 brow-tine, but at the summit only somewhat flattened, and 

 breaking up at the crown and summit of the hind border 

 into four, five, or more snags.
