Females.—£4 to £7, according to age. 
White Red Deer apparently fetch good prices for menagerie 
purposes. I have noted a white hind offered for £13 10s. 
C. elaphus corsicanus.—I have once seen the “ Sardinian” 
Red Deer quoted at £30 per pair. 
C. elaphus maral.—Of the EHastern Red Deer I have only two 
notes—a male calf for £7 10s., and an adult male for £20. 
C. canadensis.—The American Wapiti Deer, and its Asiatic 
allies, asiaticus (or eustephanus), luehdorfi, canthopygus, &c., cause

both among the different Wapitis and also crossed with Red 
Deer, it is doubtful if the matter will be ever entirely cleared up. 
Young animals appear to be worth £8 to £12 apiece, and adults 
£20 to £35. It is true that more than once a pair of these fine 
Deer have been advertized for sale for £100, but at any rate, in 
one case I know the vendors reduced this to £40! 
C. mantchuricus, Manchurian Deer.—£15 each. 
C. sika, Japanese Deer.—£3 15s. to £8 10s. each, though 
£12 10s. has been asked for a female. 
C. duvaucelli, Barasingha Deer.—£30 to £40 asked for im- 
ported adult males. 
C. unicolor (or C. aristotelis and C. equinus), Sambur.—<£5 to 
£10 each. £15 asked for specially good animals. 
C. porcinus, Hog Deer.—£8 to £6 each. 
C. hippelaphus, Javan Deer.—£6 to £10 each. 
C. moluccensis, Moluccan Deer.—£2 10s. to £8 15s. each. 
C. axis, Axis, or Chital, Deer.—£6 to £10 each: but fawns 
may sometimes be purchased for £3 10s. apiece, and I haye
