The Deer wdiich Buffon (H. N. vi. 95. t. 11) describes under the 
name of the Cerf de Corse, has been regarded as a variety to be di¬ 
stinguished by the smallness of its size, but Buffon observes, that he 
believes the tf size to depend on the scarcity of nourishment; for 
when moved to better pastures, in four years they became higher, 
larger and stouter than the Common Stags.”
