Type, <f, Zool. Soc. Menag. The type, which is still living, differs in no appreciable external characters from ordinary specimens of Cervus sika. It was originally received from Tientsin, China. I have not included C. euopis among the synonyms of C. sika, in the hope of attracting further attention to the subject, as it would be of considerable interest should C. sika he found inhabiting the mainland as well as the islands of Japan. 20.
