HIM,
This species which is one of the smallest of the genus Mimosa, is found in the prairies around Rio-Janeiro. Its stem is feeble, rather woody, ramose, pubescent above and covered with very sharp prickles. The leaves are bipinnate, the pinnae being three- or four-paired, with small, linear foli- oles, which close at the least contact ; there are from 6 to 12 on each side of the spike. The flowers are small, sessile, forming pretty silky tufts of a violet color.
The fruit is somewhat triangular, flattened, covered with long and stiff* hairs, and surrounded by a persistent pericarp, divided in two capsules, each of which contains one seed.

BRAZILIAN STAG;
GUAZOUTI.
PORTUGi GOUAZOUPITA.
This stag whose forms are extremely fine and graceful, inhabits the forests of Brazil.
Its size is about the same as that of our stag.
Its skin the color of which never changes, is of a brownish fallow, being rather lighter towards the abdomen, the posterior part of the thighs and the tail.

inferior surface of the lower jaw, the part above and below the eyes, the interior of the ears and the abdomen are white; a black line encircles the jaws and gradually disappears under the lower one. The eyes of the guazouti are black, it has no canine teeth; its mouth, which is very slender, tapers to a muzzle. The horns which, in every case, are not very high and extremely regular, are at first straight ; they curve forward in the second year, send forth three ant- lers, the anterior being placed about two inches above the burr, which is turned a little inward, and the other two at the superior and posterior part of the staff.
The horns be- come bigger as they grow older, but the number of antlers remains the same. We triturate the skin, which should be used fresh and covered with the hair.
