Typical locality (southern) Siam, the range including 

 Cambodia, apparently Hainan, and perhaps Formosa. 



Antlers with the main termination much flattened, a 

 number of small snags on the sharp hind edge, and the brow- 

 tine relatively short ; general colour reddish at all seasons, 

 with spots along middle of back, and in some cases also on sides. 



Although there is some doubt as to the place of origin 

 of the type of Panolia platyceros (E"o. 695, h), it presents all 

 the characteristics of Siamese antlers. 



695, h. Single antler. Siam (?). Type ; figured by 

 Blyth, Proc. Zool. Soc, 1867, p. 841,' figs. 22 and 23. In 

 Gray's Catalogue of Ungulata the locality was given as 

 India, but in the Museum copy it is altered, in Gray's own 

 handwriting, to Siam ; and in the Catalogue of Ruminants 

 Siam appears as the place of origin. Purchased ( Wanvick).
