SWAMP DEER, or Barasingha. A deer of Northern India, of rather large size, with smooth and somewhat flattened antlers, with a prominent brow-tine and sometimes 16 to 20 points. It is a grazer, keeps in the outskirts of the woods, and on grassy lands, and in winter gathers into small bands. Its scientific name is Cervus Duvaucelli.
