Head of Four-horned Antelope. 
The FOUR-HORNED ANTELOPE or CHOUSINGHA 
(Tetraceros quadricornis). 
This antelope, which was formerly classed with the African 
duikers, is now regarded as a relative of the nilgai. Typically 
there are two pairs of horns, and the face-glands form deep slits ; 
the females being hornless. The upper molar teeth have low, squared 
crowns. Height at shoulder about 25 inches, and weight about 40 
lbs. General colour dull rufous brown, becoming whitish beneath, 
with the muzzle, the outer surface of the ears, and a line down the 
front of each leg blackish brown, and some white on the outer side 
of the pasterns. The front horns are not unfrequently mere knobs, 
and may even be wanting, as in most Madras and Kathiawar specimens. 
Distribution.—Peninsular India south of the Himalaya.
