Left hind less of deer to show relative size and position of metatarsal gland in each (after Seton, Life Histories of Northern Animals, 1909). 49, mule deer; 50, black-tailed deer; 51, white-tailed deer. Antlers, because they occur on one sex only, furnish a secondary sex character. Other conspicuous secondary sex characters of the male are furnished by his generally larger size and broader hoofs. The great enlargement of the male's neck at mating time might also be included here. The skin glands, mentioned above, occur alike in both sexes.
