284 ORDER VIII. 



CERUS,* CEPHALOPHUS, we pass over with the re- 

 mark, that A. philantomba, of the cephalophine 

 group, was first detected in the British Museum, 

 named and subsequently noticed by ourselves in 

 the synopsis of Griffith's Cuvier, No. 855. f 



Of sub-genus NEOTRAGUS, the Madoka, or Salt's 

 Antelope, is not identical with that figured under 

 the same name in Riippel's work. 



In sub-genus TRAGELAPHUS we place A. decula 

 of Riippel, which, according to him, represents, in 

 Eastern Africa, A. scripta of the west. 



In sub-genus N.EMORILEDUS, Mr. Hodgson has 

 proposed some modifications of character; but A. 

 Duvaiiceln is more nearly allied to the Cambing 

 ootan and A. thar, than to Goral and A. (kemas) 

 hylocrius, Ogilb., or Jungle Sheep, is an additional 

 species. It is to be regretted that we have had no 

 convenient opportunity of publishing the figures of 

 the whole series, such as it is in our possession. 



We pass on to two groups having domesticated 

 species, which attest a plural origin, but of which 

 we cannot here subjoin the details. 



Genus CAPRA. Beside the species noticed in 

 Vol. XIX. p. 108, of the Naturalist's Library, several 

 have since been added, chiefly through the resear- 

 ches of Mr. Blyth, such as the Himalayan Ibex or 

 Skyn, and the Markbur of Kabul, which, if it be 



* Unless the colossal fossil Sivatherium giganteum, found in 

 the Sewallic Hills, belong to it. 



t This is a case for saying, with the Templai^ : " Non 

 nobis Domine !"
