* MULE DEER. 95 MULHAUSEN. normally 10 points. The stern bears a yellowish- white disk, ami the tail is of minlerate length, round, and black at the end. The hide of this species made the best buckskin known to the Indians, and was most used by them for clothing. Its value was soon learned by the pioneers in the West: and from about ISliO to 1870 this deer was pursued so ruthlessly by hide-hunters that about 250,000 skins were sent annually to England alone, for several years. The venison also is of superior quality, and the liaunt.s and habits of the animal, his craft and speed, make him the most interesting to the sportsmen of all the American deer. The fawns are often domesticated, and the adults thrive well in jiarks. and are to be seen in every zoological garden in the world.
