JP. S. — It appears that a species of Deer, which has been named 

 Cervtts pseudaxis, has recently been received in France from the 

 mountainous regions of the north of China and Mantcheeria. From 

 the geographical región it cannot be a true Accine, and the ñame 

 would imply its being an Axis-like (or spotted) species, — -just possibly 

 identical with the Formosan Deer.
