Hog-Deer 175 



the exception of the Calamianes deer, by the great development of the 

 auditory bulla?, which form marked projections on the inferior surface. 

 Ears small and pointed, thickly haired externally ; tail moderately long and 

 bushy ; face-gland small ; metatarsal tuft only slightly lighter than the 

 rest of the leg ; no mane on the neck. 



The type specimen of this little deer is preserved in the Museum at 

 Leyden, and the British Museum possesses a mounted specimen, now much 

 faded and in bad condition, which was received in exchange from the 

 former establishment. Living examples have been exhibited years ago in 

 the Zoological Gardens at Amsterdam. The species appears to be in many 

 respects intermediate between the sambar and rusa on the one hand, and 

 the hog-deer on the other. 



Distribution. — The small Bavian, or Bawean Islands, lying between 

 Borneo and Java.
