Columbia Eiver, west to the coast range of California, and east 

 to the Missouri. Its remarkable deciduous horns seem to indi- 

 cate a transition to the Cervidoe. (Plate XIX., vol. ii., p. 129.) 



Sub-family VII. Cervicaprin.e (5 genera, 21 species). This 

 group of Antelopes is wholly confined to the continental portion 

 of the Ethiopian region. The genera are: Ccrvicapra (4 sp.), 

 Africa, south of the equator and Abyssinia; Kdbus (6 sp.), grassy 

 plains and marshes of Tropical Africa ; Peha, (1 sp.). South 

 Africa ; Nanotrayus (9 species), Africa, south of the Sahara ; 

 Neotragus (1 sp.) Abyssinia and East Africa. 



Sub-family VIII. CEPHALOPHiNiE (2 genera, 24 species), Africa 

 and India; Cephaloplms (22 sp.), continental Ethiopian region; 

 Tetraceros (2 sp.) hiUy part of all India, but rare north of the 

 Ganges. 



Sub-family IX. Alcephalin^ (2 genera, 11 species), large 

 African Antelopes, one species just entering the Paloearctic 

 region. The genera are : Alcephalus (9 sp.) all Africa and 

 north-east to Sp-ia ; Catohlepas (2 sp.), gnus, Africa, south of 

 the Equator. 



Sub-region X. BudorcinvE (1 genus, 2 species) Budorcas in- 

 habits the high Himalayas from Nepal to East Thibet. 



Sub-family XI. PiUPICApkin^ (1 genus, 2 species) the Cha- 

 mois, Eztpicapra, inhabit the high European Alps from the 

 Pyrenees to the Caucasus. (Plate I., vol. i., p. 195.) 



Sub-family XII. Nemoriiedin^ (2 genera, 10 species). These 

 goat-like Antelopes inhabit portions of the Palsearctic and 

 Oriental regions, as well as the Rocky Mountains in the Nearctic 

 region. Ncmorhcdus (9 sp.) ranges from the Eastern Hima- 

 layas to N. China and Japan, and south to Formosa, the Malay 

 Peninsula and Sumatra. Aj^loccrus (1 sp.), the mountain goat 

 of the trappers, inhabits the northern parts of California and the 

 Rocky Mountains. 



Sub-family XIII. Caprin^e (2 genera, 23 species). The Goats 

 and Sheep form an extensive series, highly characteristic of the 

 Palaiarctic region, but with an outlying species on the Neilgher- 

 ries in Southern India, and one in the Rocky Mountains and 

 California. The genera are Capra (22 sp.) and Ovihos (1 sp.).
