RZB-FACED, AND GUINEA DEER. 223 
are entrapped in pit falls dug in the ground, and 
covered over with slight materials, on which they 
heedlessly trust themselves. Their feet are used 
for tobacco stoppers. There is a spotted variety 
of this species. 
Rib-faced deer. 
This deer is peculiarly characterized by three 
longitudinal ribs extending between the horns and 
the eyes. Its horns are supported on a bony pro- 
cess, covered with hair, and rising three inches 
above the scull. They are trifurcated, and have 
the upper fork hooked. The upper jaw is on each 
side armed with a tusk. 
It is shaped like the porcine deer, but inferior 
in size to the British roe buck. Like the roe, 
this species associates only in families. They are 
inhabitants of Java and Ceylon. 
Grey or Guinea deer. 
This deer is of the size of a cat ; with long 
ears ; grey on the upper part of its body, but black 
below ; and marked between the eyes with a black 
line. 
This is an obscure species. The only description 
of it was furnished by Linnasus ; and, as the horns 
were wanting in the specimen which he examined, 
he could not determine certainly whether it were 
a deer, a musk, or a female antelope.
