tlisli tint, with a wliite spot above the nose and on 
tlie upper lip. 
Another species mentioned by Azara, and enter- 
ing this division, is the Guazu-bira, the Bira Roe of 
Major Smiili, and the Cervus neinorivagus of Lich- 
tenstein. This pretty deer inhabits the woody parts 
of the same country with tlie former, and also owes 
its first notice to Azara. It is about twenty-six inches 
in length. The aspect of the animal is said to be 
less deer-like than the preceding, and to approach 
•oniewhat to some of the sheep. The ears are more 
rounded at the extremity, and the lachrymal sinus 
is nearly imperceptible. The lower part of the head 
and lips are whitish ; around the eyes, the inside of 
the fore legs, and from the lower part of the breast 
to the buttocks, is of a whitish cinnamon colour. 
The whole neck, and all the other jtarts of the ani- 
mal, are of a brownish shade, approaching to greyish, 
from each hair having a delicate tip of white. The 
horns are short and simple. To these Major Smith 
adds another animal, from the collection of Prince 
Maximilian of Neuweid, very similar to the first, but 
about six inches lower at the shoulder. He has 
given it the title of Apara Brochet, Cervus (subulo) 
siwplicicornis. 
The next animals are now known under the title 
of Muntjak, and have been placed by Major Smith, 
apparently with propriety, at the conclusion of the 
true deer, fi-om the remarkable structure of the horns,
