* Dr. Gray remarks, that " the Stags of Canada and India have horns so 
similar that it is impossible to distinguish them by their horns (P. Z. S. 1850, 
p. 222). There is no Indian Stag to which this remark applies; but the horns 
of young individuals of the JTas/im^Vmn C. Wallichii, and of the Tibetan C. 
AFFINIS, probably could not always be distinguished from those of C. canadensis 
of similar age. Those of maximum growth are easily enough distinguishable.
