• “His edited volume "The Biology and Management of the Cervidae" was published by the Smithsonian Institution Press.”

  Chapter 11

• “At the same time each species of the _Cervidae_ has its special characters in the antlers, in shape and branching, and it would be impossible to attribute these to differences in mode of fighting: they are due to mutation.”

  Hormones and Heredity

• “In my own volume on _Sexual Dimorphism in the Animal Kingdom_, published in 1900, I attempted to explain the limitation of secondary sexual characters not only to one sex, but usually to one period of the individual life, namely, that of sexual maturity; and in some cases, as in male Cervidae, to one season of the year in which alone the sexual organs are active.”

  Hormones and Heredity

• “Milk glands, then, are somatic sex-characters common to a whole class, instead of being restricted to a family like the antlers in Cervidae.”

  Hormones and Heredity

• “There are in the New World some other very interesting animals of this group, such as the musk-ox (_Ovibos_), and the prong-horned antelope (_Antilocapra_), which last so far resembles the Cervidae that the horns, which are bifurcate, are also annually shed.”
