116 THE DEER OF AMERICA. 
Ceylon does do not keep in as good condition while raising their 
fawns as does the Acapulco doe. The Ceylon deer is of a shade 
the lightest color. The most important distinction is that the 
metatarsal gland is present in the Ceylon deer, while it is wanting 
in the Acapulco deer. Although the Ceylon buck and the Aca- 
pulco doe were brought from California together in a cage, and 
seemed much attached to each other when turned in the park, the 
doe refused to breed to him at the proper season, although there 
was no buck there of her own species. This Ceylon deer is 
probably the same deer which Sir Samuel W. Baker designates 
as the Red Deer of Ceylon, although I can find no vestige of the 
canine teeth. 
We shall learn more of these beautiful little deer hereafter.
