The male cast the horns during the time that Mr. Hawkins was making the drawing in the month of 
September, and they were very shortly replaced by a new pair. 
Lord Derby observes : — 
" We have just had another loss, about which I am very doubtful whether or no it would be any gain to 
you ; it is a young fawn, that was produced on Sunday last. It is a cross-bred thing, having been got by 
the Deer that Schomburgk sent to me from Guiana by the name of Savannah Deer (C. rufus), and out of a 
female which you may recollect seeing in the old Aviary Yard — her with her ears cropped, which was 
sent by Mr. Bridges (C. Pudu). I do not make out the species of either parent, and therefore doubt if 
it would be any object to you any more than to me. 
" Bridges sent me lately two small Deer, males, which we think belong to a female that I have had from 
Schomburgk by the name of the Savannah Deer. Hawkins has drawn them ; but the female is about eighteen, 
the males about three months or so. We take them to be the Pita Brochet"
