106 THE A VGA. 



Two other doubtful or little known species are 

 recorded, A. mazama, Smith, Ovine Antelope, in- 

 habiting the rocky forests and mountains of tropical 

 America; and A. temmamazama, Smith, The Chi- 

 chiltic, inhabiting the mountains of New Mexico. 



The last group among what has been considered 

 the tribe of Antelopes, depends on the spoils of the 

 animal only. It is the Anoa of Major Smith, dis- 

 tinguished from the preceding animals, by " the 

 horns placed on the edge of the frontal crest, on tlie 

 same plane with the face, exceedingly robust, a little 

 depressed, subtriangular, short, straight, wrinkled, 

 and suddenly terminating in a very sharp point ; the 

 face straight, no lachrymal or suborbital sinus." * 



The head of this animal, which is all that exists 

 in our collections (one in the British Museum, an- 

 other, before its dispersion, in that of Mr Brooks), 

 appear to have been brought from the Island of 

 Coelebs by Dr Abel. The horns gave the character 

 above, as made out by Major Smith, and the forehead 

 was covered with bluish -cinereous hairs, short and 

 close and feathering beneath the left eye. The length 

 from the nose to the base of the horns was nine in-
