1817 C. S. Rafinesque in Amer. Monthly Mag. & Crit. Rev. Sept. 363/2 Both species having simple unbranched solid straight horns, must belong to my genus Mazama instead of the genus Cervus, of which they had been considered a kind.

1827 E. Griffith et al. Cuvier's Animal Kingdom IV. 290 In that paper the Mazama is noticed as inferior in bulk to a domestic goat but higher on the legs.

1834 Penny Cycl. II. 71/1 The same naturalist considers the present group..to comprise the animals long since described by Hernandez under the generic name of Mazama.

1854 C. Knight Eng. Cycl.: Nat. Hist. I. 259 Mazama. Has small, conical, round, nearly erect horns, [etc.].
