The earlieiit iliitincl moation in niodein times of an Jntelope of 

 the iorm of Dama vvas by Bufton, who dcscribed under tlie name 

 of Nmigucr, an animai brought by Adanson from Senegal: on 

 tljis desciiptioii is founded the Ant. Dama of Palias. Under the 

 šame nanie M. Lichtenstein and M. Ruppel haveseverally described 

 an ^H/c/oy;(? with procurved horns, the Addrn ox Leddra ofNubia 

 and Upper Egypt. These differ, hovvever, in colouring from each 

 other, and also from the M'liorr of Tafileht ; and Mr. Bennett was 

 therefore disposed to regard them as distinct races of the šame fnrm 

 of Antelope, (a form for which the name oi Damce may be retained,) 

 and to consider them provisionally as the representatives of three 

 species, equivalent probably in value to the Coritnie and Kevel re- 

 cently distinguished by M. F. Cuvier from the Gazelle, Ant. Dorais, 

 Pall. He characterized them respectively under their local namcs 

 as follows : —

 signiter procurva, laivia. Collum elongatuni, macul;1 medi;! antica

The individual of the M'horr A itelope exhibited was one of the 

 two recently prescnted, while living, to the Society by E. W. A. 

 Drumniond Hay, Esq., Corr. Memb. Z. S., His Majesty's Consul Ge- 

 neral at Tangier, for whom it had been procurcd by the exertions of 

 W. Willshire, Es(] , Corr. .Memb. Z. S., Vice-ConsuI at Mogadore. 

 The characters of the animai were further illustrated by reference 

 to an imperfect skin, also prescntcd to the Society by Mr. Drum- 

 mond Hay. 



Mr. iJennetl's detailed description of the M'horr .4nlelope will be 

 published, vvith a figure, in the Society's Transactions. 



At the request of the Chairman .Mr. Spooner read the f()lIowing 

 Notės of the post mortem exainination of the M'horr Anlelope: — 



" The external conformatJon of the animai exhibited great ema- 

 ciation. On laying open the abdominal cavity it vvas remarked that 

 the peritoneal secretion vvas more abundant than is usual in health, 

 and the membrana exhibitedmarks of chronicinflammation through- 

 out its extent, but more particularly in the portion reflected over 

 the small incestines. Severai hydatids vvere adherent to the me- 

 sentery and ovienlum. 'Ihe latter luscus vvas extreniely thin and
