Inhabits China. 
Mr. Ogilby observes, this species has a longer head and tail than the Common Indian Muntjac, also less 
red and more blue in the general shades of colouring, and is readily distinguished by the want of the white 
over the hoofs, which is so apparent in its congeners. The fawn is spotted. 
The Earl of Derby has these three kinds at Knowsley ; but they breed together, and it has hence become 
impossible to discriminate the mules from the original species. 
Lord Derby observes :■ — 
" We have bred the Muntjaks here very regularly ; but ours will prove cross-bred, being from China and 
from Java."— Oct. 25, 1845. 
The Capreoline Deer or Roes have rugose, very shortly peduncled horns, without any basal snag or 
branch ; the first branch arising some distance above the crown or burr ; the upper part is more or less 
branched ; the muffle is broad and naked ; the suborbital gland and the pit in the skull are very small and 
shallow. Some species have a distinct tuft of hair on the outer side of the metatarsus, and more have the 
pencil of hair on the inner side of the hock, and others are without either ; indeed in some specimens of the 
same species the tuft of hair on the hinder legs are very visible, in others very indistinctly or not at all seen. 
II. CAPREOLUS {H. Smith), Capr^a {Ogilby), Hippocamelus {Leuckart), Cervequus {Lessoii), 
has nearly erect, small, cylindrical, slightly branched horns, with a very short peduncle ; they have no tail, 
but a large, white anal disk, a very indistinct tear-bag, and narrow triangular hoofs ; the tuft on the 
hind-legs rather above the middle of the metatarsus ; they are covered with thick brittle hair in 
winter, and thinner and more flexible hair in the summer; the adults are not spotted, and have a 
black spot at the angle of the mouth ; the skull has a very small, shallow suborbital pit. Found in 
Europe, North Asia, and South America.
