Local Names for the Virginia Deer.

The commonest and the best known OF
all our cervidae is our old friend, the
Virginia deer Ii is the most persistent
OF it's kind. politely but firmly resisting
all attempts at complete determination.
Wherever there are large tracts OF for
est. and also in many places whsre there
are not, il ranges all the way from
Southern Florida 10 the Saskatchewan.
and from New Brunswick 10 Idaho and
tba Mexican borGer. In FLORIDA and
Texas il IS small and Insignificant
creature in comparison with those found
in the Virginia mountains and further
north. In the West and Northwest this
creature rejoices in fine assortment
of nopular names. Here are a few or
tharn in the order OF their preference:
White-tailod deer. fan-tailed deer. nag
tailed deer long-tailed deer. red ceer,
and fallow deer. The two last mentioned
are particularly Objectionable, for they
rightly belong to two well-known Euro
mean apecies. 1t is no wonder that so
many men are determined TO name this
creature from the appearance OF It's tail.
for that member is so long. so bushy,
so white underneath. and so very no.
ticeable when It's owner Is running from
you that the provocation is very great.
