TENASSERIM MUNTJAC (Cervulus fea). 



Antlers about two inches lonGf. 



EUROPEAN ROE (Capreolus vulgaris). 



Roe may be recognised by the rudimentary tail, and the medium- 

 sized antlers rising close together and almost vertically from the head, 

 without a brow tine, and regularly forking at a point about two-thirds 

 the total length, with the posterior prong again subdividing, so that the 

 number of points is usually three. There is no gland and tuft on the 

 hock, but one on the upper part of the hinder cannon-bone. In the 

 European roe the height at the shoulder is about 26 inches. In winter 

 the coat is dark speckly brown with a large white rump-patch, but in 

 summer foxy red, with little or no white behind. The range embraces 

 the greater part of Europe as far as the Caucasus, and probably Asia 

 Minor.
