Var. Blackish 
Germs mauricus, F. Cuv. Bull. Soc. Phil. 1816. — C. Dama mama, Fischer. — Daime noire, F. Cuv. Mam. Lith. 
Inhabits Persia. Domesticated in Europe. 
This species is represented in the sculptures from Nineveh. 
The RusiNE Deer or Samboos have a large moist muffle, which is as high as broad, and extend to the 
edge of the upper lip ; hind-leg with a large tuft of hair rather above the middle of the metatarsus, and with 
a pencil of hair on the inner side of the hock ; a moderate tail, broad, short ears, and the fur consisting of 
hard, rather shining, thick, depressed hair ; they have no white mark on the rump. The horns are cylin- 
drical, generally rather longly pedmscled, with a distinct anterior basal branch or snag close on the burr or 
crown, and are forked, and sometimes reforked, at the tip ; they have no medial snag. The skulls have a 
large, very deep, suborbital pit. They are confined to South-Eastern Asia and its islands. 
In some the upper part of the horns is variously branched. 
5. PANOLIA {Gray'). 
The horns round, curved backwards and outwards, with a large anterior basal snag close on the burr ; the 
upper part bent in, forked, becoming rather expanded and branched on the inner or hinder edge ; the 
fur formed of rather rigid, flattened hair ; muffle large ; skull with a narrow face, a large, oblong, 
very deep suborbital pit, and the nasals short, broad, and dilated behind ; the frontal snag of the horns 
often has a tubercle or branch at the base.

Inhabits India. 
General Hardwicke has a drawing of a Deer, the frontal snag of the horns very much elongated, and 
apparently forked : Colonel Hamilton Smith made an "improved" drawing from the sketch; and in the 
Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1837 I mention the species under the name of C. Smithii, p. 48. 
I am now doubtful if the sketch might not have been intended for this species or a new one allied to it. 
6. RUCERVUS {^Hodgson), Rusa, sp. {H. Smith), 
has cylindrical horns, with an anterior basal branch, and are repeatedly forked at the tip ; muffle large, 
high, continued to the edge of the upper lip below ; they have a rather short, thick tail, a shortish 
face, a well-developed tear-bag, broad rounded ears, covered with hair, and narrow compressed hoofs. 
The fur is formed of rather soft adpressed hairs ; they have no pale mark on the rump, and are in- 
distinctly spotted. The skull has an elongate face, with a large nose-opening, and an oblong, rather 
shallow, suborbital pit. 
The Bahraiya. Rucerms DumuceMii. Tab. XL, Summer. Tab. XLI. Winter. 
Yellowish brown, without any rump spot \ back with an indistinct dark streak, with a row of white 
spots on each side ; sides not spotted ; hair black, with yellow tips ; neck with rather longer 
hair ; throat, chest and belly with longer, scattered, greyish white hairs ; muzzle and front of leg 
dark ; chin white.

Inhabits India. 
The specimen that was at Knowsley has recently died, and is in the British Museum. There is a 
beautiful male now living in the Zoological Gardens. 
The True Rusas have the upper part of the horns simply forked. 
7. RUSA {H, Smith), Cervus Hippelaphi ** {Sundeml). 
They are covered with hard, rigid, very thick hairs ; they are not, or only obscurely, spotted ; the horns 
are placed on a moderately long {)eduncle, have an anterior frontal snag close on the crown, and are 
simply forked at the tip.
