SUPPLEMENT. 



The following specimens probably belong to this species. 



37682. Fragment of the calvarium, showing the bases of the pedicles 

 of the antlers; from the Pleistocene of the Argentine 

 Republic. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1854. 



37678. Fragment of the left maxilla of a young individual, con- 



taining mm. 3 , mm. 4 , and m. 1 ; from the same region. 



Same history. 



37679. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible, belonging to 



the same individual as the last specimen. Same history, 



B. Coassine group. 



The following specimens from the caves of Minas Geraes, Brazil, 

 belong to the group ^ with simple antlers, comprising G. rufus, 

 G. simplicicornis, G. rufinus, and G. nemorivagus ; it is improbable 

 that they belong to the third species (confined to Ecuador and 

 Guatemala) ; but it is most likely that they represented at least two 

 of the other three, although it would be almost impossible to dis- 

 tinguish between the first and second by the skull alone. The 

 fossils may be divided into three groups on the ground of size. All 

 the specimens belong to the Glaussen Collection. Purchased, 1845. 



Species a. 



The specimens under this head come nearest in point of size to 

 G. rufus (F. Cuv.^) and G. simplicicornis (H. Smith ^), in which 

 the lengths of the upper series of cheek-teeth ^ in the females are 

 respectively 0,068 and 0,058. 



18694. The imperfect calvarium of a male, showing the pedicles 

 the horn-cores. 



18959. Part of the frontal region of a male. 



18699. The imperfect calvarium of a female ^ 



18694 a. The right maxillary region, containing the six cheek-teeth. 

 The length of the dental series is 0,066.
