The muscles associated with the very large preorbital glands of muntjacs (Muntiacus) are described. Although the two muntjac fawns examined were only 10 days old, their muscles were proportionately larger than those in adult specimens of North American cervids. A muscle, not found in North American cervids, but well developed in muntjacs, is probably responsible for the eversion of muntjacs' preorbital glands.
描述了与麂属（Muntiacus）非常大的眶前腺相关的肌肉。尽管所检查的两只麂幼崽仅10天大，但它们的肌肉相对比北美鹿科成年标本的肌肉更大。一种在北美鹿科动物中未发现但在麂中发育良好的肌肉，可能是麂眶前腺外翻的原因。
