CURIOUS DWARF DEER-rhe Baltimore Amer.
lean says:-We yesterday saw two OF these ami.
mails mother and young, that were brought from
the island of Java, on board the United States
frigate Macedonian, and are probably the only
ones ever seen In the United States. When full
grown they are about the size of an ordinary rab.
bit of our forests, and shaped like the American
deer. The limbs are very delicate, and the hoof,
which is eleven, is almost transparent In color
they are reddish brown, and white breast and
stomach From the nose, and extending back to
the ears, is tan colored stripe on each side aud
under the lower jaw a white, forming trident
They feed like cattle and chew the cud, like that
species of the animal creation. They are easily
domesticated The eye is large and projecting,
but the ears are short and oblong. They are said
to be very swift, and their appearance would indi-
cate it, as they formed precisely like the red
deer of this country
