The animals of this subtribe are peculiar as being the only hol- 
low-horned or Bovine Ruminants which are marked with white 
stripes and spots. The bands are not very distinct in the Im- 
poofo or Eland, but they are easily to be observed in the female, 
if it is looked at obliquely, which was brought home by Burke, 
and presented to the British Museum by the Earl of Derby. 
The skull, which somewhat resembles that of the Deer, has a- 
rather small nasal opening, no suborbital pit, and only a small 
suborbital fissure. 
Colonel H. Smith forms of the larger species three of his four 
subgenera of Damalis : he places the smaller kinds as a subgenus 
(Tragelaphus) of Antelopes. 
Prof. Sundevall placed the genera here brought together in 
two different families; the genus Portar with the Bovina, and 
the others in the Sylvicaprina, or True Antelopes. 
M. Agassiz has observed, that the horns of the Strepsiceres and 
the Sheep are twisted in the contrary direction. Mr. Ogilby has ~ 
justly observed, that the right horn of the Strepsiceres is twisted 
in the same direction as the left horn of the Sheep, and vice versd.
