Cariacus white lyi, Brooke, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 926. 



Characters. — Closely allied to the wood-brocket, from which it is dis- 

 tinguished by its somewhat inferior size, the nearly smooth antlers, and 

 certain details of coloration. The pelage of the back is darker than in 

 M. nemorivaga, and the under-parts and inner side of the limbs pure white 

 instead of yellowish white ; the hairs of the back lack the sub-terminal 

 yellowish red ring. C. whitelyi was founded on an immature skull from 

 Peru in the British Museum, probably belonging to the present form. The 

 species is only known to me by description. 



Distribution. — Peru, at elevations of 16,000 feet above the sea-level on 

 the western slopes of the Cordillera, in the same districts inhabited by 

 M. antisiensis.

Cervus [Coassus) nanus, Ihering, Mammiferos de S. Paulo, p. 16 (1894). 



Characters. — Imperfectly known. Size very small, inferior to that of the 

 wood-brocket, from which this form is said to be distinguished by the 

 presence of a small tarsal tuft and the larger size of the face-gland. Tail 

 terminating in a tuft of longish hairs ; hair rough and thick ; ears thickly 

 haired externally, short-haired internally. General colour of upper-parts
