138 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



preceding races by the very strong incurving of the upper 

 portion of the stout l:)eani of the antlers, in consequence of 

 which the base of the terminal fork is situated in nearly the 

 same plane as the root of the trez-tine ; the latter strongly 

 bent upwards and inwards and separated by a shorter 

 interval from the fourth tine than it is from the bez-tine; 

 while the fourth tine conceals the terminal fork, which 

 consists of two sub-equal prongs mounted upon a relatively 

 short shaft. 



No specimen in collection.

In the under-mentioned specimen the whole margin of 

 the upper lip is light-coloured, instead of only the front 

 portion and a patch beside the nostrils, as in the Tien-Shan 

 and Canadian races ; and the dark patch on each side of the 

 lower lip does not extend downwards to join a larger patch 

 on the chin, as in those races, the whole chin being light- 

 coloured. General colour light grey.

K.— Cervus canadensis wardi. 



Cervus canadensis wardi, Lydehher, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1910, p. 987. 



Typical locality Sze-chuan border of Tibet. 



Known only by antlers, which are lighter and more 

 slender than those of Sayansk and Tien-Shan wapiti, with 

 the terminal fork narrower, and the fourth tine smaller. 

 Not improbably this type of antler may prove to belong to 

 C. macneilli (infra, p. 145).
