GUIDE TO GARDENS. 
Near to these cages at the end of the Main 
Walk are the Deer paddocks. (Nos. 16, 17, 18, and 
19). These enclosures, as will he seen on the plan, 
extend across the whole breadth of the grounds. They 
contain a number of Deer of the following varieties : — 
The Formosan Deer (^Gervus Pseudaccis), Formosa, 
a beautiful spotted Deer, the first of which were 
presented to the Society by E. S. Fussell, Esq., 
of Fou Chou. 
The Japanese Deer (<7. SiJca ), — This variety is very 
like the Formosan, being also spotted; but it is 
a smaller animal. 
The Barasingha Deer (C. BuvaueelU), Northern 
India. — Presented by Arthur Grrote, Esq., late of 
Calcutta. This Deer attains a large size. 
The Sambur Deer ((7. 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 (C. Pamd), Europe. — At present 
there are only two females in the Gardens, but there 
are numbers in different parts of the colony, 
notably on the Dpper Tarra, the produce of some 
liberated several years ago by P. De Castella, Esq. 
The Hog Deer (C. Porcinus), India. — This is a 
small, hardy animal, about the size of a sheep. 
A number have been liberated at different times.
