Mr Swainson's classification of the Ruminating 

 Animals, according to their natural affinities. 



The Class Mammalia is divided into Five Orders. Qua- 

 drumana^ or Four-Handed Mammalia. Ferce, or Beasts of 

 Prey. Cetacea, or Aquatic Mammalia. Ungulata^ or 

 Hoofed Quadrupeds. Glires, or Gnawing Quadrupeds. 



The Fourth Order, Ungulata^ or Hoofed Quadrupeds, is 

 divided into Five Tribes, Pachydermcs, Anoplotheres, Eden- 

 tates^ RuminanteS) Solipedes. 



The Fourth Tribe, Ruminantes, the Ruminating Qua- 

 drupeds, is thus distributed : 



1. Sub-Typical Group. Horns sheathing ; form gracile, 

 slender. Fam. Antelopida, Sw.* 



Genera, &c. 



1. Dicranoceros, Sm. 12. Tragelaphus, Sm. 



2. Aigocerus, Sm. 13. Nemorhsedus, Sm. 



3. Oryx, Sm. 14. Rupicarpa, Sm. 



4. Gazella, Sm. 15. Aplocerus, Sm. 



5. Antelope, Sm. 16. Capra, Auct.
