. The popular natural history . Zoology. ROEBUCK.—(Caprlolus Caprita.) at first sight appear to be scattered irregularly, but are seen on a careful inspection to be arranged in oblique curved lines. There is also a white streak across the haunches. There are, however, many varieties of the Axis Deer, which differ in size as well as in colour. The height of the adult Axis is almost equal to that of the Fallow Deer. The Roebuck is smaller than the Fallow Deer, being only two feet and three or four inches in length at the shoulder, but, although so small, can be really a formidable animal, on account of its rapid movements and great com- parative strength. It is not found in large herds like the Fallow Deer, but is strictly monogamous, the single pair living together, contented with each other's society. The horns of this animal have no basal snag, and rise straight from the forehead, throwing out one antler in front, and one or two behind, according to the age of the individual. From the base of the horn to the first antler the horn is thickly covered with wrinkles. It is a most active little Deer, always preferring the highest grounds, thence forming a contrast to the Fallow Deer, which loves the plains. It is seldom seen in England in a wild state, but may still be met with in many parts of Scot- land. The colour of the Roebuck is very variable, but is generally as follows, The body is always of a brown tint as a ground hue, worked with either red or grey, or remaining simply brown. Round the root of the tail is a patch of pure white hair, and the abdomen and inside :0f the limbs are greyish white. The chin is also white, and there is a white spot on each side of the lips. The Moschine Deer are readily known by the absence of horns in both sexes, the extremely long canine teeth of the upper jaw in the males, and the powerfully odorous secretion in one of the species, from which they derive their popular as well as their scientific title. There are at least eight o
