Odocoileus mexicanus (Gmelin), p. 16. This name is stated by 
Allen to be untenable, as identification of the Cervns mexicanus of 
Gmelin is not possible. He therefore replaces it by: 
Dama lichtensteini Allen. 
1902. Dama lichtensteini Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., 
xvi, p. 20. February 1, 1902. 
According to Osgood (Proc. biol. soc. Washington, xv, p. 87-88, 
April 25, 1902), the name mexicanus as used by Lichtenstein is 
tenable for this species, which should be known as: 
Odocoileus mexicanus (Lichtenstein).

Odocoileus americanus (Erxleben), p. 14. Both Allen (Bull. 
Amer. mus. nat. hist., xvi, p. 19, February 1, 1902) and Osgood 
(Proc. biol. soc. Washington, xv, p. 87, April 25, 1902) have urged 
the untenability of this specific name. If this view be adopted 
the species will stand as : 
Odocoileus virginianus (Boddaert).
