Ziipyceros melampus (Lichtenstein). Pallah Antelope. 
Five skins and five skulls of this graceful antelope, together with 
skins of two heads, are included in the collection. The upper third of 
the backs of the ears is black in all these specimens, a disposition of 
color which I have not noted in the figures that I have examined. The 
mamme are four in number—not two, as stated by Harris and Gray. 
In the largest male the horns are 18 inches (457 millimeters) long in 
a Straight line, and the tips are 104 inches (260 millimeters) apart; ina 
smaller male they are 154 inches (394 millimeters) long, with tips 7 
inches (178 millimeters) apart. Both are thoroughly adult animals.

Dr. Abbott collected two young male antelopes belonging to this 
genus, but whether they represent this or some other species I am 
unable to determine. An examination and comparison of the various 
nominal species would be necessary before a decision could be reached. 
The general color of the back (in No. 18958) is ocher-yellow. The 
hairs are pale chocolate-brown at the base, with a subterminal ring of 
ocher-yellow and short, black tip. On the sides, the base of the hairs 
is paler and the black tips are less conspicuous. The upper surface of 
the tail and the legs externally are like the back. The front of the 
fore legs is dusky, owing to an increased amount of black at the 
extremity of the hairs. The face is like the back, but somewhat darker 
in the median line and paler on the cheeks. There is a white spot in 
front of the eye, and the hair between the eye and ear is short and of 
a yellowish-white color. There is a naked spot beneath the ear. The 
ears are white within, ocher-yellow without. The chin and throat, the 
inside of the legs, and the belly are white. 
The naked muffle scarcely extends backward to a line joining the 
posterior angle of the nostrils. ; 
The greatest length of the skull in this individual is 9 inches. The — 
horns measured around the curve, posteriorly, 7.25 insbes. The ears
