Colus, “ Wagner.” 
Mr. Turner observes, “This genus (Gazella) seems prone to 
exhibit in certain species inhabiting more temperate regions, en- 
largements of, or appendages to, the respiratory passages ; for 
example, the enlarged larynx of G. gutturosa, the elevated nose 
of G. Colus, and the appendages to its sides in the Chiru (G. 
Kemas); these seem to be physiological adaptations, in no case 
marking a group, and therefore insufficient to warrant generic 
_ distinction, which has been made in the two latter instances. 
_ However, not having as yet seen entire skulls of these species, I 
retain them provisionally in this genus, judging by the horns. I 
think few naturalists will set forth, with Mr. Gray, the colour of 
the horns of the Saiga as a generic character.” If Mr. Turner 
had consulted Pallas’s description and figure of the skull of the 
- Saiga, or Hodgson’s figure of the skull of the Chiru, I think he 
_ would have been satisfied they were good genera.
