The C, Corsicus is a small variety of red deer found in Corsica. 
The Barbary Deer, C. Barbarus, is chiefly distinguished from the common stag, and the Al- 
gerian variety of it, by its smaller size, stouter form, and more permanently spotted fur. It is the 
Bush-Goat of the Moors, and inhabits the coasts of Barbary. 
The Bara Sin&a or Morl, C. Wallichii, is an Indian species. It is also found in Persia, where 
it is called JK/am/, Gevesu, or Gookookee. It is the Gervus Pygargus of Hardwicke; also the 
Jesrael or Tailless Deer and Red Deer of India. 
The Saul-Forest Stag, C. affinis, is the Stroa or Tibetan Stag of Hodgson, the Bara Singa 
of the Hindoos. The bones are as hea^-y and as large as those of the Wapiti. 
The SiKA, C. Sika^ is of a dark-brown color, and has rather slender horns. It is a native of 
Japan. 
THE COMMON DEER OF EDROPE. 
The CoMMOisr Deer of Europe, or Fallow-Deer, Dama vulgaris — the Daim of the French ; 
the Damhirsch of the Germans — ^is smaller, feebler, and more common-place in its character than 
the red deer. It closely resembles our common deer. In summer both sexes have the back, 
flanks, and thighs of a fulvous-brown color, diversified with nimierous white spots. In winter 
these parts are wholly brown ; the haunches are always white. The general form is light, and 
the movements elegant. In various parts of Europe they are found wild, living in considerable 
flocks; they are also met with in a half-domesticated state in the parks of wealthy proprietors. 
This is especially the case in England, where the herds of Fallow-Deer, variously colored and 
marked, are a pleasing ornament of the rich lawns which spread before the castles and country- 
seats of that country. There are many varieties of this species, some being brown, some spotted, 
and some milk-white. It is represented on the sculptures of Nineveh. 
The SuNGNAi, Panolia Eldii^ is an Indian species of Deer. 
The Bahrainga, Rucervus Duvaucellii, is another Indian species. It is called the S2Mtted Deer 
of the Sunderbunds, and Barara Sijigha, by Hardwicke. It is the Cervus Maphoides of Hodg-
