The gazelles of British East Africa are well represented in the 
museum collections, but the rich antelope fauna of Somaliland, 
Abyssinia, and Sudan, where many distinct species occur, is almost 
without representation. 
The type-species of Cerophorus Blainville, 1816,’ has, so far as I 
am aware, never been fixed. Since this name has equal date with 
Gazella, Alcelaphus, Tragelaphus, Boselaphus, Oryx, Rupicapra, and 
Ovibos, all proposed as subgenera in the same paper, and has priority 
over many other names of horned ruminants, it seems especially 
important that it be disposed of. I therefore now select, as the 
type of Cerophorus Blainville, the first-mentioned species, Capra 
cervicapra Linneus. The name Cerophorus thus becomes a synonym 
of Antilope Pallas, 1766.
