This littledeer is so well known that it hardly requires 

 any notice here. There are few sportsmen who have 

 not shot a Kahur or Bherhi as it is generally called, 

 though its names are numerous. I have known this 

 deer in captivity to devour meat greedily. 



No. 55. — The next pair of horns I have to notice 

 should not properly form part of an Asiatic collection. 

 They were given to me by a friend as a specimen from 

 Japan but I at once recognised it as the Canadian 

 Pronghorned antelope (Antilocapra Americana) which 

 had probably been imported into Japan, by an Ameri- 

 can vessel. This animal is noted for its being the 

 only one of the hollow-horned niminants which sheds 

 its horns like the deer.
