Marsh- Deer 



Founded on a single immature antler from Cayenne, now in the Paris Museum 

 and very probably referable to M. virginiana savannarum. 



2. Mazama similis 



Census affinis, Pucheran, C.R. Ac. Paris, vol. xxix. p. 777 (1849), nec Hodgson, 

 1 841. 



Cervus similis, Pucheran, Arch. Mus. Paris, vol. vi. p. 357 (1852).

Cariacus similis, Brooke, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 920. 



Founded on a male specimen in the Paris Museum, of which the exact locality is 

 unknown, but which probably came from the Southern United States. Its general 

 coloration is very similar to the typical race of the common American deer in summer 

 pelage, but the upper half of the tarsal tuft is rusty red, and only the lower half 

 white. 



3. Mazama leptocephala 



Cariacus leptocephalus, Gray, Cat. Ruminants Brit. Mus. p. 85 (1872), Hand-list 

 Ruminants Brit. Mus. p. 157, plate xxxvii (1873). 



Founded on an immature male skull in the British Museum (No. 52. 12. 26. 

 160), reputed to have come from South America. It is evidently of the mule-deer 

 type, and is probably of North American origin. 



4. Mazama pusilla 



Eucervus pusilla, Gray, Hand-list Ruminants Brit. Mus. p. 157 (1873). 



Founded on an immature male skull from North America in the British Museum 

 (No. 68. 2. 13. 2), probably belonging to the mule-deer group. The antlers are 

 unbranched. Description apparently insufficient. 



5. Mazama sp. 



Cervus brachyceros, Philippi, An. Mus. Chile, 1895 J 1 nec Gervais and Ameghino, 

 1880. 



Cariacus sp., Nehring, SB. Ges. Nat. Berlin, 1895, P- I2 - 



Founded on a Chilian specimen referred by its describer to Xenelaphus, but 

 assigned by Dr. Nehring to the present sub-genus, without determination of the 

 species.
