 inches distant at the base : the head is ten inches 

 and a half long : the body, from the tip of the 

 nose to the tail, three feet six inches : the height, 

 from the shoulders to the hoof, two feet two 

 inches ; and about two inches higher behind : the 

 length of the tail is eight inches : the body is 

 thick and clumsy ; the legs fine and slender : the 

 colour, on the upper part of the neck, body, and 

 sides, is brown ; the belly and rump lighter.

 in the possession of the late Lord Ciive, and was 

 brought from Bengal. It is also said to be found 

 in Borneo, and to be called Hog Deer, from the 

 thickness of the body. Of their feet^ Mv, Pennant 

 says, are made tobacco-btopuv^rs, in the same man- 

 ner as of those of the allcr kind of Antelopes
