The values in Table 1, which are ratios Symphysis depth ( Distance from symphyseal face to lip of acetabulum xlOO ) indicate that, in the black-tailed deer, bucks may be distinguished from does by this means. In the 2-3-year-old class the ratio in does was not over ; thai in bucks was not under In the older classes as a whole the ratios for both sexes were lower. After three years of age the does showed no ratio greater than and the bucks no ratio less than Values for the white-tailed deer, obtained iu the same way, tend to be larger; the maximum for female 2-year-olds is , for 3-year-olds , and for those over •'! years ), out of a total of 10 specimens of all ages. Two male specimens show a ratio of for a 2-year-old and for a 5-year-old. Thus, this method of sexing appears promising in the white-tailed deer bu1 more material must be examined before it can be accepted. The differences in ratio between the two species of deer indicate that yardsticks based on one species or race should be applied to another with Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
