brockets, but without recognizable characterization of the species. His 
Cervus temama, however, has the same basis as Rafinesque’s Mazama tema 
(1817), which is antedated twenty-five years by Mazama temama (Kerr.)! 
Some of the other citations obviously relate to red brockets and other deer 
of Guiana and Brazil. Thus his Cervus cuguapara has the same basis as 
Cervus bezoartica Linné, namely, the Cuguacu-apara of Marcgrave. His 
Cervus caguete was based on the Cugwacu-ete of Marcgrave, a red brocket 
from the Pernambuco district of Brazil. 
Another name, dating from 1792, is Cervus delicatulus Shaw (Museum 
Leverianum, p. 149, pl. 36), based on a small spotted fawn, source of origin 
not stated. The specimen figured came later into the possession of G. 
Cuvier (cf. Rech. Ossem. foss., 2d ed., IV, 1823, p. 55). From the associa- 
tion of Cuvier’s comment thereon in the text, it was evidently a young red 
brocket in spotted coat, presumably from Surinam. 
Cervus mangivorus Schrank (Ann. Wetteraus. Gessells. gesam. Naturk., 
IV, 1819 (= Neue Ann. etc., I, 1819), p. 327), based on a specimen obtained 
in Brazil by the Spix Expedition, is unidentifiable. It was referred by 
Gray (Cat. Ungul. Furcip. Brit. Mus., 1852, p. 237) to Cervus nemort- 
vagus, but it seems more likely referable to Odocoileus gymnotis Wiegmann. 
Cervus humboldti Wiegmann (Isis, 1833, p. 954, footnote 2); Abbild. 
u. Beschreib. merkw. Saugeth., Lief. 2, pp. 69 and 80, footnotes), was based 
on a deer casually mentioned by Humboldt in the narrative of his explora- 
tions in Venezuela as Matakana. Although obviously unidentifiable, it has 
been given the rank of a “selbstindige Art,” under the name Subulo hum- 
boldtiu, by Fitzinger.? 
Cervus nanus Lund (Blik paa Brasiliens Dyreverden fér sidste Jordom- 
veltning, 1837-1845, passim) is included in several of his comparative lists 
of species (living and fossil) as “Cervus nanus m.,’’ but I have been unable 
to find that he has given a description of it, nor can I find any description 
by him cited by later authors, although the name has repeatedly received 
mention.* | 
Cervus spinosus Gay and Gervais (Ann. des Sci. Nat. (3), 1846, p. 84, in 
text) is based on a pair of antlers from Cayenne, which have been considered 
as those of a brocket, but the name is of course not identifiable. 
Coassus auritus Gray (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1850, p. 242, OS XV, 
animal, pl. xxvii, fig. 6, front view of head) was based on a red brocket in 
the Gardens of the Zoological Society of London, from an unknown locality.
