It is a well ascertained fact that the more northern specimens of this deer are appreciably 
larger than those found further south, and that the deer of the southern seacoast and its islands 
are smaller than those of the uplands and mountains of the same latitude. This fact is well 
established by the comparison of specimens in the Smithsonian collection, from New York and 
from St. Simon’s island.
