Occasional Notes. 171 
able from the other small grey brocket, Coassus simplici- 
cornis, which has been recorded from the colony by 
SCHOMBURGK, though it is possible that the forms with 
the spots which were considered adult, were only really 
young of this species. There is no frontal streak in

A. very different deer from any of the preceding is 
only represented in the Museum collection by a skull, 
the characters of which mark it as referable to Blasto- 
cerus paludosus. There is no inner basal snag in this 
form, and the antlers grow to some length ere they divide 
into two, about equal, branches. In ourspecimen these ant- 
lers are thick and very rough, but unfortunately, though it 
was obtained in the colony, its exa6l locality is not known.

The " Who-arc-you" — Perhaps no writer has more 
graphically described the singular characteristics of the 
goatsuckers of Guiana than did the intrepid WATERTON 
of the " Wanderings." Their quaint and curious cries, 
so humanlike in expression, of " Who-are-you ? ," 
11 Willy-come-go," "Work, work, work-to-hell," must 
have struck the early settlers with as much wonder and 
surprise, as they have since caused to every dweller in 
the land who has wandered beyond the actual confines of 
civilisation, and has passed a night in the woodlands. 
But though these notes are so commonly heard through- 
out the country, almost wherever one may camp, it is yet 
a most difficult matter to relate the forms to their special 
cries, since they are only heard at night, and then chiefly 
while the birds pass to and fro, or perhaps perch, in the 
thickets of bush around, where it is not only impossible 
to procure them, but even to get a sight of them.
