>1 Moschus. W. H. Flower describes in detail the anatomy of M. moscM- 
ferus, and discusses its affinities. He comes to the conclusion that it 
is an undeveloped and little-specialized Deer, representing a period at 
which the Cervidce were not yet fully established as a distinct type. It 
may still however be retained in the family. Tom. cit. pp. 178-190 ;
