162 ON THE HIPPELAPHUS. 



If the preceding remarks and conjectures are well founded, it will re- 

 sult from them ; 



1st. That the Hippelaphus of Aristotle is in reality a peculiar species 

 very different from the Europe Deer, Cervus Mlaphus, with which it has 

 hitherto been confounded. 



2d. That the name of Hippelaphus does not belong to the Deer that is 

 so called in the Sy sterna Natures, by Linnoeus, and Gmelin. 



3d. That the Hippelaphus is no other than Pennant's Great Axis, which 

 alone ought hereafter to bear the name of Cervus Hippelaphus.
