DEER HUNTING. 339 DEER HE Coramon Deer of North America, Cervus Virginianus, differs entirely from all the Eui'opeau or Indian varieties of this order. It is smaller in size than the Red DeerâHart and Hindâof the Bri- tish Isles and the European Continent, and is far inferior to it in stateliness of character, in bearing, and in the size and extent of its antlers, which, moreover, aro very distinct in form from those of the stag. This distinction con- sists in the fact that, while the main stem of the horn in the Red Deer invariably leans backward from the bi'ow, with all the branches or tines pointing forward and downward, to the number of ten or twelve, in the American Deer it points forward and downward, with the branches arising from it backward and upward. From the Fallow Deer of Europe, which I believe to have been originally introduced from the East, it differs in being much larger, and having branched, as distinguished from pal- mated horns. Its flesh is much nearer akin, as indeed is its general appear- ance, to that of the Red than the Fallow Deer, being very rarely fat, and much drier, and less delicate, than that of the buck or doe. It is so very much larger than the Roebuck, and differs from it so gieatly in all respects, that it is needless to enter mi- nutely into the difference. â . I ,1. ! if 'â ill.
