Characters. — Antlers flattened or rounded, with both the bez (second) 

 and trez (third) tines wanting, the beam dichotomously forking, and one 

 or both branches again forked, so that the number of tines is at least four, 

 and may be many more, the brow-tine forming either a right angle or a 

 continuous curve with the beam. Pelage of adult generally almost or 

 quite uniformly coloured, without a light caudal disk ; young usually 

 spotted. Neck maned ; ears large ; face long ; tail short. Naked portion 

 of the muzzle of the rusine type, but decidedly narrower just above the 

 upper lip. The face-gland moderate, and not capable of complete eversion.
