AFRICAN ANTELOPES

of the hind leg. This resembles a white trace, hence the name 

 "harnessed antelope." 



There are many varieties of small antelopes which are hardly 

 worth enumeration. These* are scattered throughout an immense 

 area north of the equator, and are never to be found in the same 

 locality. The oryx (leucoryx) or the leptoceros of Heuglin is known 

 by the Arabs as the bagger el wahash (cow of the wilderness). 

 This fine antelope is confined to certain districts in the Taka 

 country, also in Kordofan, but I have never met with it. The late 

 Professor Heuglin was a painstaking naturalist, whom I had the 

 pleasure of knowing when staying in Khartoum, and we compared 

 notes of all the animals with which we were mutually acquainted. 

 He arranged the following list, which embraces all that I know 

 practically, and many others which I have not seen.
