Dr Kichardson’s specimen stood about two feet

wanted the small basal process which existed in Say’s 
specimen. 
The other species alluded to is the Virginian deer, 
yiazama Virginiana, H. Smith, and which that 
author takes as typical of his sub-genus, having 
“ The light and elegant form ; a long tapering nose ; 
the horns reclining on the head, and turned outwards, 
and then with a very decided curve, pointing their 
(■xtreniities forward; the horns with a general ten- 
dency to flatten ; a small suboibital pore like a fold, 
and no canines.”
