THE MALAYSIAN UNGULATES. 
19 
Malaysia only two types occur, viz. the Rusa or Sambur and the 
Muntjacs or Barking Deer, The differences between the two may 
be conveniently summarized thus ; — 
a Height about 5 ft. 1 at shoulder; antlers gene- 
rally 3-branehed, long, springing from short 
pedicles: lateral horny toes large. Males 
without tusk-like upper canines . . , . Cerotts. 
o 1 Height under 2 ft. at shoulder; antlers gene- 
rally 2- branched, short, springing from long 
pedicles; lateral horny toes small. Males 
with tusk-like upper canines .. Mantiacm. 
The antlers of the Sam bur are distinguished from those of 
other deer in that the brow-tine is given off from the beam at an 
acute angle; not at a right angle. 
Each antler has three tines or points, the lowest known ns the 
brow -tine, the next as the bez-tine and the summit of the main or 
beam of the antler, known as the surroyed or crown of the antler. 
The bez-tine, which is another point given off immediately above 
the brow-tine, is absent in the Sam bur. The Irez-iine of the 
Sambur is perhaps more correctly regarded as a branch of the crown 
of the antler; in which case the antler of the Sainbur may be 
characterized as having one bro tv-tine and a long beam forked ati 
the end. 
A large oriffee or u lachrymal pit * in front of each t eye is 
very noticeable in all true Deer, 
The young of the Sanibur are usually uniformly coloured, but 
spotted in the Muntjae.

Cervus kuhlL 
This is a small deer, about 2? inches at the shoulder, 
found only on Rawean Island between Java and Borneo. It 
differs noticeably from all the other Malaysian species in the 
longer atitler-pedieles. The skull is more like that of a hog- 
deer and also lacks the tusks in the upper jaw. 
Rowland Ward gives the following particulars of one 
head in the British Museum: length 91 in., circumference 
2£ in,, tip to tip lOjjr in., points 3x3, 
i Except Kohl's Stag from Rawean Island, which is barely more than 
2 ft.
