MR. E. T. BENNETT ON THE M’HORR ANTELOPE. 7 
the Berlin Transactions, and in the work of M. Riippell, appears to me to furnish the 
most convincing proof that neither the Nanguer nor the M’horr can possibly represent 
intermediate stages of the same animal. I therefore consider myself fully justified in 
assigning the following differential names and characters to each. I have not retained 
for either of them the name of Dama, because, as far as the essential character goes, it 
seems to be equally applicable to all. Perhaps, however, on strict principles of nomen- 
clature, it ought to have been retained for Buffon’s animal, to which, as a trivial name, 
it was unquestionably first applied.

' The plate of Ehrenberg above referred to, as containing figures of the Nubian species, was published, 
believe, in 1829; but the illustrative text, which bears date in August 1832, did not reach this country until 
after the reading of the present paper. In it the learned author expresses his doubts of the correctness of the 
Plinian synonym as applied either to the Addra or the Nanguer; and considers the word Dama, as used by 
other classical writers, to be a common appellation of all cervine beasts of chase. He is of opinion that the 
species of Antelopes are circumscribed within very narrow limits; and for this reason, as well as on account of 
the shorter and thicker neck, and much shorter horns of the Senegalese animal, he seems inclined to regard the 
Dama of Eastern and Western Africa as distinct, but does not venture on changing the received denomination. 
Of the M’horr he had no knowledge. The particulars of the habits of the Addra, as observed by himself in 
the territory of Dongola, to which it would appear to be almost confined; and the descriptions and minute ad- 
measurements of the adult male, its skeleton, the female, and the young of both sexes, render this a highly 
valuable addition to our stock of information relative to the Eastern animal.
