EGYPTIAN ANTELOPf. 313 



Hope, as Mill as in other parts of Africa; that in 

 the female the horns are smaller than in the male, 

 and that the animals do not associate in troops or 

 herds, but only in pairs. The head is \\hite, 

 marked in a singular manner with blaek, which 

 latter colour tonm a kind of triangular patch on 

 the top of the forehead, the point running down 

 between the eves, and then dilating into a similarly 

 formed patch in an opposite direction, situ 

 on the upper part of the nose, and these two 

 patches are united on each side by a streak or 

 hand of black running from the roojt of each 

 horn, through the eyes, down the chirks : the 

 end of the nose is milk white. It is observable, 

 sa\ s Mr. Klockner, that there are but very few 

 instances in quadrupeds of a black or other co- 

 loured hand running across the i yes and cheeks; 

 the IJadgerand the Coati-Mondi furnishing almost 

 the only examples *. The neck and upper part of 

 the body are of a pale blueish grey, with a slight 

 tinge of blossom-colour; the belly and insides of 

 the limbs are white, but along the lower part of 

 the sides runs a dark or blackish chesnut-colouicd 

 stripe, separating the colours of the tipper and 

 lower parts: a dark stripe runs along the hack 

 to the tail, and a large patch of similar colour is 

 d on the upper part of the outside* both of 

 the fore and hind legs, and is continued down the 

 front of each leg in form of a stripe, which again 



* The Antilope Lncoryr, or White Antelope, the Myont Dryai, 

 or Wood Dormouse, and some others, might be added to the list.
