REIN-DEER. 
The Rein-Deer, or Cervus Tarandus of 
Linnaeus, is a much celebrated animal, almost 
equally approaching the Elk and the Stag. 
BufFon, who calls it the Renne, even ventures 
to describe it in the same article v^'ith the Elk. 
It is the Tarandus, of Pliny, and of Aldrovan- 
dus; the Cervus Mirabilis, of Johnston, the 
Rangifer, of Gesner; the Cervus Rangifer, of 
Ray ; and the Rein-Deer, of most English 
naturalists. In French, it is called tlie Rangier, 
the Rangller, or the RehnC^; in Latin, Taran- 
dus; in the Norwegian language, Rehen; in 
Lapland, Boetrdi; in Gdrmany, Reenthier, 
in Sweden, Rhen ; in Canada, Caribou ; and, 
in modern Latin, Rangifer. , 
Though the Rein-Deer is found in tile 
northern parts of Asia and America, as well as

wealth of the inhabitants, Mr, Pennantsays,
