(Mammalia, pl. 4, 5.) 
This new and brilliant Antelope, the Inyala of the Amazulu, ap- 
pears to be a link between the Koodoo and Boshbok, uniting in 
itself the markings and characteristic features of both these animals. 
The adult male is about 7 ft. 6 in. in total length, and 3 ft. 4 in. 
high at the shoulder. Though elegant in form, and with much of 
the grace of the solitary Koodoo, the robust and shaggy aspect of 
the male bears considerable resemblance to that of the Goat. Legs 
clean ; hoofs pointed and black, with two oval cream-coloured spots 
in front of each fetlock, immediately above the hoof. Horns 1 ft. 
10 in. long, twisted and sublyrate, very similar to those of the 
Boshbok, but rather more spiral; have sharp polished extremities, 
of a pale straw-colour; rest of horns brownish black, deeply ridged 
from the forehead to about half the length of the horn. Prevailing 
colour greyish black, tinged with purplish brown and ochre; on the 
neck, flanks, and cheeks, marked with several white stripes like the 
Koodoo; forehead brilliant sienna-brown, almost approaching to 
orange ; mane black down the neck, and white from the withers to 
the insertion of the tail. Ears’8 in. long, oval, rufous, tipped with 
black and fringed inside with white hairs; a pale ochreous circle 
round the eyes, which are connected by two white spots forming an 
arrow-shaped mark on a black ground; nose black ; a white spot on 
each side of the upper lip; chin and gullet white; and three white marks 
under each eye; neck covered with long shaggy hair, extending also 
under the belly and fringing the haunches to the knees; two white 
spots on the flanks, and a patch of long white hair on the anterior 
portion of the thigh; a white tuft under the belly, and another on 
the dewlap; on the outer side of the fore-legs is a black patch above 
the knee surrounded by three white spots; legs below the knee 
bright rufous colour; tail 1 ft. 8 in. long, black above, with tip and 
inside white. 
Female smaller and without horns; total length 6 ft.; nose to 
insertion of ear 10 in.; length of ear 63 in.; height from fore-foot 
to shoulder 2 ft. 9in.; tail 1 ft. 3in. in length. . Colour a bright 
rufous, inclining to orange, becoming very pale on the belly and 
lower parts, and white inside the thighs; a black dorsal ridge of 
bristly hair extends from the back of the crown to the tail; nose 
black ; the white spots on various parts of the body nearly resemble 
those of the male, only the white stripes on both sides are more 
numerous and clearly defined, amounting to twelve or thirteen in 
number ; tail rufous above and white below, tipped with black. 
The young resembles the female, but is rather paler in colour, and 
has more white spots on the flank and sides. 
Inhabits the lower undulating hills scattered with Mimosa bushes, 
that border upon the northern shores of St. Lucia Bay, in the Zulu 
No. CLXXXVI.—Proceepines oF THE ZOOLOGICAL Society.
