outer side of the front of the fore-legs, like the streak on the leg of 

 the Lecama or Harte beest from South Africa, which is not generally 

 found in this species. This skin, without a head or hoofs, was brought 

 by Mr. Frazer to the British Museum, from Tunis ; it probably indi- 

 cates a third species, or perhaps this streak is only marked in the 

 very adult or fully-coloured specimens. 



2. Boselaphus Caama. The Lecama or Harte beest. 



Grey brown ; dorsal line, streak on face, outer side of limbs black ; 

 large triangular spot on the haunches whitish.

Pennant figures the head and horns of this species under the name 

 of Senegal Antelope, and erroneously refers to Buffon' s figures of the 

 horns of the Koba as representing the species, which lead to some 

 confusion ; for the A. Senegalensis (Cuvier, Diet. Sci. Nat. ii. 235) 

 is an abbreviation, and A. Koba (Erxleben, Syn. 293) is a translation, 

 of Pennant's description of this species. Pennant's specimen is said 

 to come from Senegal, but he describes the nuchal line and the knees 

 as black, and the figure indicates the dark colour on the face of the 

 Cape species.
