Hagenbeci'] Cervi Tufted vicino ai parenti del piccolo dispari muntjacs sono i cervi TUFTED, di cui due specie, il tibetano e Michie, sono noti per i naturalisti. L'ex, trovati in Tibet orientale, è circa la dimensione dell'Indiano muntjac, e ha un rivestimento di cioccolato scuro-marrone, curiosamente punteggiato sulla faccia, collo e parti anteriori; il ciuffo frontale è quasi nero. I palchi di bucks di questo e Michie's cervi sono estremamente piccoli e poco osservabile in corrispondenza di un primo sguardo. Entrambe le specie sono

. Mammals of other lands;. Mammals. 26o THE LIVING ANIMALS OF THE WORLD. Br permistion of Herr Car! Hagenbeci'] Tufted Deer Near relatives of the odd little muntjacs are the TUFTED DEER, of which two species, the Tibetan and Michie's, are known to naturalists. The former, found in Eastern Tibet, is about the size of the Indian muntjac, and has a coat of dark chocolate-brown, curiously speckled on the face, neck, and fore parts; the frontal tuft is nearly black. The antlers of the bucks of both this and Michie's deer are extremely small, scarcely observable at a first glance. Both species have long curving tusks projecting from the upper jaw. Michie's tufted deer is of a greyish-black or iron-grey colour, the face and neck dark grey. This animal is found in the reed-beds bordering the Ningpo and other rivers in Eastern China. Water-deer The Chinese Water-deer is another diminutive deer, standing no more than 20 inches at the shoulder. The body-colouring iHamturs '^ P^'^ rufous ycllovv, the head and the back < of the ears being darker in hue than the rest of the body. The males carry no antlers. This tiny deer is found in North-east China, and is well known on the islands of the Yangtse-kiang River. It loves thick cover, especially reeds and long grass. So apt is it at concealment, that in one park, where specimens are kept in a paddock of long tussocky grass, hours may be spent without catching a glimpse of it. When disturbed, it .scurries off with short, quick leaps, very much after the manner of the hare. The males of the Chinese deer, like the muntjacs, carry long curved tusks in the upper jaw. Roe Deer The European Roe, one of the handsomest of all the smaller deer, is still happily found in many parts of Scotland. In England, where it had at one time become well-nigh extinct, it has been here and there reintroduced with some success. In Ireland it seems never to have been found. On the Continent its range is wide, extending from the south of Sweden, through F
