The present part deals chiefly with the description of the skull of the 
living Cervidce, &c., and with the relations of their different groups to each 
other. The author, however, does not seem to be aware of some recent 
and important work done in the subject, as is evident when (p. 93) he 
places Hydropotes and Moschus close together, and removes Coassus from 
the other new-world forms to the vicinity of Cervulus and Elaphodus.
