62 MAMMALIA. 
Gazella, sp., Gray, List Mam. B. M. 161; Ann. & Mag. N. H. 
1847, xvii. 231; Knowsley Menag. 
The Chikara are not gregarious. They have lyrate horns, 
common to both sexes, knee-tuft, line along the flanks, and ovine 
nose of the Gazelles of Africa, but they are wholly destitute of 
the eye-pits; they have the large, dark-lustred eyes of the An- 
telopes, very unlike the small, pale-eyed Goats.—Hodgson. 
Mr. Hodgson separates this genus from Gazella, because he 
declares it has no crwmen; but Mr. Turner, who says he has seen 
a skull, describes it as bemg a typical Gazel/a; and Colonel Sykes 
described the suborbital sinuses as very small, not observable in 
dried skins, nor does the animal dilate them unless very much 
alarmed.—P. Z. S. 1831, 106.
