* The race seems rather smaller in Burma, the Malayan peninsula, and 
Sumatra ; the R. equina, auct. : but it does not appear to me to be fairly 
separable. There are slight diflferences in almost every province. We are not 
well supplied with skulls; but one from Arakan has the nasal bones much more 
compressed than in Indian specimens. I have never seen really fine horns from 
the eastward of the Bay of Bengal. 
t This, a Chevrotain, and a two-headed calf, were the only staffed rurainanta 
in the Society's museum when I took charge of it in 1841. — E. B.
