A young male American deer was received in October, 
1899, from an unknown locality in the southwest, the 
identity of which has never been fully established. On 
March 12th of last year a female, clearly of the same 
species, was received from Tampico, Mexico. The pair are 
now regarded as Mazama texana Mearns, a beautiful species, 
which is found in southwestern Texas, its southern limit 
in eastern Mexico being yet unknown.
