1836 intended to describe it and afterwards thought that 

 he really did so. Ogilby said in 1836 »that the beautiful 

 » species mentioned by Bennett is a real Antelope and 

 » which he hoped shortly to have an opportunity of descri- 

 »bing in detail under the name of A. doria , as a friend, 

 » who has connections with the Westcoast of Africa , had 

 » kindly undertaken to procure him skins". 



Now the history has learned that about half a century 

 after the kind offerings of Ogilby's friend the first com- 

 plete specimen reached Europe in the form of the young 

 male-specimen now in the Leyden Museum. 



Gray relates that the specific name is supposed to be 

 commemorative of Mrs. Ogilby , whose christian name was 

 Doria.
