THE WHITE-FOOTED DEER.

"During the stay of Long's Expedition at Engineer Cantonment, three

specimens of a variety of the common deer were brought in, having all

the feet white near the hoofs, and extending to those on the hind-feet

from a little above the spurious hoofs. This white extremity was

divided, upon the sides of the foot, by the general color of the leg,

which extends down near to the hoofs, leaving a white triangle in front,

of which the point was elevated rather higher than the spurious

hoofs."--GODMAN'S _Natural History_, vol. ii., p. 314.
