GUIDE TO THE 
A nearly allied species is Eld’s deer which is prevalent 
in Manipur and throughout Burma, and apparently 
occurs as far eastwards as the island of Hainan, Another 
Rucervus is Schomburgh’s deer which occurs in Siam. 
This line of deer paddocks terminates with the Hog- 
deer, Cervusporcinus , which belongs to the same sub-genus, 
Rusa , as the Samber. It occurs throughout India, Ceylon, 
and Burma ; the Ceylonese differing in no respect from the 
Indian animal. 
On the opposite site of the road, at the right hand 
corner of the lane leading along the northern side 
of the Rhinoceros compound, is a high enclosure in which 
the Barking or Rib-faced Deer, Cervulus muntjac , is kept. 
The high railing and wire netting were found necessary to 
prevent the animals straying. The peculiarities of this 
deer, are the very long pedicel on which the horn is placed, 
the short brow-antler, the unbranched beam with its re¬ 
curved tip, the two well-defined ridges down the face, the 
large lachrymal pit, and the strongly developed canine 
teeth of the male. The ridges on the face are apparently 
for the protection of a series of glands in the skin along 
their inner surfaces. This species occurs throughout India 
and ascends the Himalaya to about 8,000 feet, and extends 
eastwards through Burma, the Malayan Peninsula and 
Sumatra. The Javan species is supposed to be distinct. 
The visitor will now follow the main road, keeping 
the Rhinoceros enclosure immediately to his right, until 
he reaches 
Two Cages 
containing monkeys, the first an example of the common 
monkey, Macacus rhesus , and the second, the Pig-tailed 
monkey of Arakan and Burma, Macacus leonimts. The latter
