Porcine Deer, Pennant, Quadrup Cerf cochon, M. ^ F-

This appears undoubtedly to be tbe animal fi- 
g’ured and referred to by Pennant in his History of 
Quadrupeds, from a specimen sent to Lord Clive 
from Bengal, and named, from its thickness and 
clumsy body, “• Hog Deer.” A more modern and 
accurate figure has been given of an animal in the 
1 arisian Menagerie, iti the Maminiferes of Frederic 
Cuvier, and tvbich seems to have been similar to 
that which supplied Mr Pennant’s description. It 
is nearly of the size of the Spotted Axis, and is re- 
markable for the rounded outline of the head, and 
the heavy and awkward proportions of the body. 
1 he horns in this figure are slender, with a single 
short antler at the base, and the fork at the tip 
slightly developed. The colour is entirely of a yel- 
lowish-brown, slightly paler on the lower parts. The 
insides of the limbs are white, and around the eyes, 
with the hinder parts of the cheeks, are yellowish.
