Type, Hippelaphus or the Samber, and Aristolelis or the Jarai : 

 both continental species of India. 



Also, in the Islands, Equinus, Peronii, Etam, and Mariannus : but 

 they want testing, all of them. 



Habitat, all the great forests of India and of its islands, and to a 

 certain extent, the mountains above them, where the other large Deer 

 are never seen. 



These animals are not gregarious : they have a long bluff tail like 

 that of a docked horse ; no disc round it ; but a heavy mane over the 

 whole neck. 



One anomalous species thence called Heterocerus has no upper snag- 

 to its horns.* The Rusas rut in spring and then drop their horns. 



* Another large Deer of the Indo-chinese ranges of Hills is Panolia Eedii, the Cer- 

 vu- Frontalis of Mr. McClelland. Not found West of the JBrahmaputra,
