Deer in New Mexico are so big, (a)(a) Joh. de Laet. from the Observation of Alfonsus de Benavides. that they breed them up to draw with, as we do with Oxen and Horses. So strangely does the Climat Climate alter the Bulk of some Animals. Dear, and they only, may be suppos'd to cast their horns, because they have neither a long Tail, as Oxen; nor so long hair as a Goat or a Ram; by either of which is made a continual consumption of the same matter, which in Deer goes into the horns. The horns of Deer, are of all other the fullest of Volatile Salt. Which may lead us to conjecture of the like nature of his flesh, and blood; and the cause of his great salacity.
