KLIPSPKIXCER. 321 



" Antelope with small strait horns, small head, 

 long neck, long pointed ears. Colour above a 

 deep tawny, brightening towards the sides, neck, 

 head, and legs ; lower part of breast, belly, but- 

 tocks, and inside of thighs, white. Tail only 

 three inches long, and black. Hair on the body 

 short ; under the chest long and whitish; on each 

 knee a tuft of hair: the females are hornless: 

 length three feet nine inches to the tail. Inha- 

 luK the country very remote from the Cape of 

 I Hope. Seldom more than two are seen to- 

 gether: they ucncrally haunt the neighbourhood 

 of fountains surrounded with reeds. Are excel- 

 lent venison." 



I am not without some suspicion that this may 

 be only a variety of the Ritbock, described among 

 the Antelopes with curved horns.
