Mr. Ogilby observes, this species has a longer head and tail than 
the Common Indian Muntjac, also less red and more blue in the gene¬ 
ral shades of colouring, and is readily distinguished by the want of 
the white over the hoofs, which is so apparent in its congeners. The 
fawn is spotted. 
The Earl of Derby has these three kinds at Knowsley; but they 
breed together, and it has hence become impossible to discriminate 
the mules from the original species. 
e. The Capreoline Deer or Roes have rugose, very shortly 
peduncled horns, without any basal snag or branch ; the first branch 
arising some distance above the crown or burr; the upper part is 
more or less branched; the muffle is broad and naked; the suborbi¬ 
tal gland and the pit in the skull are very small and shallow, except 
in C. Pudu. Some species have a distinct tuft of hair on the outer side 
of the metatarsus, and more have the pencil of hair on the inner side 
of the hock, and others are without either ; indeed in some specimens 
of the same species the tuft of hair on the hinder legs is very visible, 
in others very indistinctly or not at all seen. 
11. Capreolus, H. Smith; Caprcea, Ogilby. 
Horns nearly erect, small, cylindrical, slightly branched, with a 
very short peduncle; they have no tail, hut a large, white anal disk, 
a very indistinct tear-bag, and narrow triangular hoofs; the tuft on 
the hind-legs rather above the middle of the metatarsus; they are 
covered with thick brittle hair in winter, and thinner and more flexible 
hair in the summer ; the adults are not spotted, and have a black spot 
at the angle of the mouth; the skull has a very small, shallow sub- 
orbital pit. Found in Europe and North Asia.

punctated; horns short.
