EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 65 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (Researches for the Natural History of Mammals), published between 1868 and 1874, features an elegant illustration of the Tufted Deer or Elaphodus cephalophus. This natural history work was the collaborative effort of two renowned French naturalists, Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900). The Tufted Deer, an even-toed ungulate belonging to the family Cervidae and the order Artiodactyla, is native to the forests of southern and eastern Asia. This beautiful mammal is characterized by its distinctive tufts of black hair on its ears, which can be seen clearly in this meticulously drawn plate. The Tufted Deer is also known for its slender body, small size, and agile movements. The Milne-Edwards brothers were pioneers in the field of mammalogy, and their work was instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of various mammalian species. Their comprehensive study of the Tufted Deer, as depicted in Plate 65, provides valuable insights into the anatomy, behavior, and distribution of this fascinating creature. The Tufted Deer is currently classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation. This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and continuing the scientific exploration of the diverse array of creatures that inhabit our planet. This plate, with its intricate details and accurate representation of the Tufted Deer, is a testament to the Milne-Edwards' dedication to documenting the natural world and their significant contributions to the field of mammalogy during the 19th century.
