Ruminants, with a Suggestion regarding a Method of expressing tho 
Relations of Species by means of Formulae. P. Z. S. 1877, pp. 2-18. 
Numerous observations on the stomach, liver, generative organs, brain, 
and skull in the Cervidoi and Bovidcu. The placental cotyledons are few 
in the former, numerous in the latter, and the names Oligocotyledonto- 
phora and Polycotyledontophora are proposed for the two families. The 
various types of antlers in the Cervidoi are considered to depend on the 
development of either the anterior or posterior primary division of the 
beam. Finally, a method of indicating the relationship of species by 
letters and figures is proposed.
