PLATE X. 
Le Cerf de Wallich^ Cervus Wallichii, F. Cuv. Hist. Nat. 
des iWomnu/.—Nepaul Stag, Griffith's Cuv. iv. 103, and 
Synop. 
The only authority for this animal is the litho- 
graphic plate published by Frederic Cuvier in his 
Manimiferes. That plate is copied from a drawing 
procured by M. Duvaucel, from a specimen which 
Dr Wallich bad sent from Nepaul to the Menagerie 
at Barrackpore. The notes and descriptions which 
were to have accompanied it were lost, and the 
drawing remained alone as the source of informa- 
tion. We can only give a translation from Frede- 
ric Cuvier. “ The Nepaul Stag is of a yellowish- 
brown ; the muzzle, lower part of the cheeks, around 
the eyes, the lower part of the limbs, and their inner 
surface, are of a paler tint than the body; the lower 
jaw is white anteriorly, and there is a black spot on 
the lower lip at the point where it joins the upper. 
The tail is very short and white, as well as a large 
spot on the rump. The inside of the ear is also 
white. Upon all the body the hair is opening,
