3. Coassus superciliaris. The Eyebrowed Brocket. 
(Mammalia, PI. XXV. XXVII. f. 4.) 
Bright shining red ; neck and head grey ; forehead darker; hocks 
and front of the fore legs grey ; stripe in front of the eye and under¬ 
surface of the tail white ; muffle deeply arched above ; ears moderate. 
Coassus superciliaris, Gray, Gleanings Knows. Menag. t. 48. 
Inhabits the Brazils. Para. 
This species chiefly differs from the former in the form of the 
muffle and in the presence of the white streak over the eyes. There 
is a male at Knowsley, and formerly there was a female in the Gar¬ 
dens of the Society. 
4. Coassus auritus. Large-eared Brocket. 
(Mammalia, PI. XXVI. XXVII. f. 6.) 
Bright pale red brown; head and neck grey; orbits pale brown¬ 
ish ; spot on side of upper lip, chin, belly, hinder side of fore and 
front side of hinder thighs and under side of tail, white ; crown dark 
grey brown; ears very large, broad, acute, more than half the length 
of the head, with two lines of hairs in them. 
Inhabits the Brazils. 
There is a female of this species in the Gardens of the Society; it 
greatly resembles the Indian Muntjac in the distribution of its colour. 
In the British Museum there are two skulls which belong to these 
species. They have the face shorter and thicker than the skull of 
C. nemorivagus , the nasals are wider behind ; the suborbital pit small 
or less impressed, and the grinder larger. 
The first belongs to a young specimen in the Museum Collection, 
apparently of C. rufus. It has a small slightly impressed pit just in 
front of the edge of the orbit. The second belongs to a more adult 
female, sent, without the skin, from Para by Mr. Reginald Graham; it 
is considerably larger than the preceding, and there is scarcely any 
visible impression in front of the orbit, only a slight concavity of the 
general surface. This skull exactly resembles that of C. superciliaris, 
which was in the Zoological Society’s Gardens. 
** Ears thickly covered with short hairs; skull with a very deep 
oblong suborbital pit; face short; grinders large. West coast 
of America. Pudu. 
5. Coassus Pudu. The Venada. 
Fur rufous, blackish in front and darker behind, and on the fore¬ 
head and lower part of the leg ; hairs ringed, of cheeks and neck grey¬ 
ish, of forehead and ears bright rufous ; ears short; tail very short.
