THAMIN, or ELD'S DEER 
(Cervus eldi) 
The Thamin is remarkable chiefly for the graceful curve of its 
antlers. The usual sound made by the Eld's Deer is a barking grunt; 
that of the stag is longer and louder than that of the hind. The flat 
alluvial tracts east of the Bay of Bengal and in the Malay Peninsula 
constitute its chief range. 
For permission to collect these animals, the Museum is indebted to Sir Harcourt 
Butler, G.CS.L, G.C.I.E., D.C.L., I.C.S. Governor of United Provinces (1918-1922) 
and Hurma (1922-1927).
