The Japanese Deer (0. Sika).— This variety is very 
like the Formosan, being also spotted ; but it is 
a smaller animal. 
The Barasingha Deer (C Duvaucelli), presented by 
Arthur Q-rote, Esq.} late of Calcutta. This Deer 
attains a large size. 
The Sambur Deer (0. Aristotelis), India.— Some 
years ago several of these fine animals were 
liberated at Harewood, near Cranbourne, the pro- 
perty of William Lyall, Esq., and have increased 
in a remarkable manner. Mr. Lyall estimates that 
there are now some hundreds running on a large 
swamp on his station. 
The Fallow Deer (0. Bama).—kt present there 
are only two females in the Gardens, but there 
are numbers in different parts of the colony, 
notably on the Upper Tarra, the produce of some 
liberated several years ago by P. De Castella, Esq. 
The Hog Deer (O. Porcinus), India.— This is a 
small, hardy animal, about the size of a sheep. 
A number have been liberated at different times. 
The original stock was presented by the Eajah 
Eajendro Mullick, Messrs. E. Blythe and A. Grote, 
of Calcutta, and A. Layard, Esq., of Colombo. 
Following the path leading north from the Bear 
pit, in about a hundred yards, the visitor reaches the 
Monkey houses, Nos. 6 and 7. These buildings are 
placed on each side of the main walk, and attract a 
great deal of attention, and cause much amusement 
among the juvenile visitors. The space in front of 
the cages is often crowded, especially on holidays. 
Ten Monkeys of different kinds are confined here at 
present.
