The types of Cervus dyhousJcii were procured by M. Dybowski in 

 Southern Ussuri, which lies to the south of the Amur river and to the 

 north of Vladivostok, the great Russian Port in Japanese seas. 



The specimen which I here exhibit was, as I have mentioned above, 

 bought by Mr. Dunne in the Darjeeling bazaar, so that there is abso- 

 lutely no evidence as to whence the stag came, but it seems probable that 

 it was brought from Tibet, and, as the skin and horns were in good con- 

 dition, it does not seem likely that it came from a very distant part of 

 Tibet. ^ 



If therefore the stag in question really does turn out to be speci- 

 fically identical with the stag from Ussuri-land, the range of the Cervus 

 dyloivsUi must be very great, reaching from Tibet all through Western 

 China and Manchuria to Ussuri, in which case it is very remiTrkable that 

 it should not have been oftencr procured by scientific collectors.
