BANGS: LAND MAMMALS OF FLORIDA AND GEORGIA. 219 
Cctriacus (or Damelaphus) fratercuius Coues, The nation, May 
21, 1896, vol. 62, p. 404. 
Type locality. Citronelle, Citrus County, Florida. 
The little Florida deer occurs all over peninsular Florida and 
probably the entire coastal strip of Georgia. At St. Mary’s, 
Georgia, I saw several skulls and pairs of antlers of deer killed in 
the neighborhood; all were exactly like Florida specimens. I also 
examined on Cumberland Island, a tame C. osceola , caught there 
when a fawn. There is now a tremendous herd of deer on Cumber¬ 
land Island, about all the island can support, and of course they 
are carefully protected. 
Mr. Brown got none on his 'trip, owing principally to the fact that 
most of his collecting was done during the close season on deer. 
The same cause has prevented my getting specimens on all my trips 
in Florida and Georgia. 
The remarkable rapidity with which Florida has been opened up, 
and the great number of railroads now running in all directions 
over the state, has played havoc with the deer, and in most places 
there is not one where a few years ago there were ten. In the 
more remote parts of the state, where they are less hunted, deer are 
said still to be very abundant. 
I have only the original series from Citrus County, which I had 
when I described the species.
