THE ADDAX ANTELOPE 1 27 



Specimens sold by Mr. J. C. Stevens at the break-up 

 of the collection in October, 1851 ; that in 1849 the 

 Zoological Society exhibited their first addax, and 

 that it was followed by a fine male presented to the 

 Gardens in 1861 by the Governor of Malta, and by 

 specimens purchased in 1864 and 1876 respectively. 

 From this time onwards this antelope began to 

 appear with more or less regularity in the zoological 

 gardens of Europe. In recent years one may men- 

 tion the two specimens (an adult animal and a 

 younger one) exhibited in 1899 at Berlin; during the 

 same year a pair of addax was presented to the 

 Antwerp Zoological Gardens by Halim Pasha, 

 From A.D. 79 to a.d. 1905; from Pliny to Halim 

 Pasha — such then is the history of the Libyan 

 addax.
