Turner, W. On the Cotyledonary and Diffused Placenta of the Mexican 
Deer {Cervus mexicanus). J. Anat. Phys. xiii. pp. 195-200. 
In this deer, there are “ numbers of small cotyledons and patches of dif- 
fused villi ” in addition to the few large cotyledons characteristic of the 
Cervidce. This fact thus strengthens the arguments already employed 
against the importance in classification of the structure of the placenta.
