THE GUEMUL. 
The Spotted Axis, A. pseudaxis, is tlie C. pseudaxis of Gervais. It differs from the A. macu- 
lata in having a series of spots in place of an oblique streak on the haunches. 
The LuGNA Para or Shgoriah, Hyelaphus porcinus, is easily distinguished from the Axis by 
being lower on its legs, and having no distinct black dorsal streak, nor white streak on its 
haunches. The horns are generally short, with only short snags. They live in families, or 
small herds, in the plains of Hindostan. They are also found in Ceylon. 
The C. Dodur of Eoyle is probably a distinct species ; the C. pumilis of H. Smith is perhaps 
a variety. 
The Eoebuce:, C, capreolus, the Chevreuil of the French, RehhocJc of the Germans, is a small 
species of deer, once common all over Europe, but now rare, though still found in small numbers 
in England and Scotland, and more abundantly in France, Italy, and the northern parts of 
Europe. It lives in families, feeds on herbage and the tender shoots of underwood, is of a gray- 
ish-brown color tinged with fawn, and whitish on the haunches. It weighs fifty to sixty pounds; 
its flesh is delicate food, and the horns are much used for the handles of carving-knives, &c.
