The only differences to be observed between these antlers and 

 those figured and described by Prof. Gaudry are that in the latter 

 the second tyne rises at a smaller angle to the beam, and the third 

 is larger. These are probably due to varying age and possibly 

 race.

The absence of the brow-tyne (see B, figs. 3-5) separates this 

 type of antler from that of the division Axis and Musa, with which 

 it has been compared. 



Size. — The head of the animal was about the size of that of a 

 large Roe-deer, which it probably resembled in outer form.
