114 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



along the curve, with a basal girth of from 4|- to 5|, and 

 a tip-to-tip interval of from 18^ to 34J inches. The type 

 specimen of the so-called G. inandarinus, from N. China, 

 preserved in the Museum at Paris, was described as very 

 large, with the coat spotted at all seasons, and very long 

 and shaggy in winter ; colour darker than in the typical 

 hortulorum, and spots less abundant in the winter, when the 

 neck and limbs are similar in tint to the ground-colour of 

 the body ; under-parts dark ; metatarsal tuft apparently 

 similar in colour to the rest of the leg ; tail comparatively 

 long, mainly reddish, with little white. These alleged 

 points of difference need not apparently be of more than 

 seasonal or individual value ; the type specimen having 

 perhaps been killed before the winter coat was fully 

 developed. 



The two races appear to be distinguished as follows : — 



A. Dark dorsal stripe not fully developed ; spots 



more distinct on neck O. h. hortulorum . 



B. Dark dorsal stripe fully developed ; spots less 



distinct on neck C. Ji. Tiopschi. 



A.— Cervus hortulorum hortulorum. 



Cervus hortulorum tj'picus, Ward, Records of Big Game, ed. 6, 

 p. 52, 1910, ed. 7, p. 52, 1914. 



The true home of this race is the Usuri district of 

 Manchuria. 



General characters those of the species, with the dark 

 dorsal stripe imperfectly developed, and the spotting on the 

 neck very distinct.
