40 THE GAZELLS. 



second he calls the Revel, a creature somewhat less than 

 the former, with eyes large, and horns flattened on the 

 sides. The third is the Corin, very much resembling 

 the two former, except that it is still more diminutive 

 in size, and is sometimes marked, like the tiger, in 

 streaks. The fourth class is the %erin ; the horns only 

 of which he had seen, from whence he concludes it to 

 have been larger than the rest. The filth and sixth he 

 calls the Kuba and Kob, which only vary in their height, 

 though their muzzles are much longer than the genera- 

 lity of those animals, and they have no depression under 

 their eves. The seventh he ; names Algazet, which is 

 distinguished by the immense length of its horns. The 

 eighth is termed the Pazan, and by some the Bezoar 

 coat, famous for a concretion which its intestines eon- 

 tains, that once was thought to possess such medicinal 

 virtues, that it used to sell for an enormous price : it is 

 a native of Egypt, Arabia, and Persia. The ninth is 

 called the Rongeur, which slightly differs both in shape 

 and colour from the rest. The tenth variety is the An- 

 telope, so well known to the English, who gave it the 

 name. This animal is like the roebuck in size ; the 

 horns are about sixteen inches long, and at the bottom 

 nearly join, but gradually spread as they rise in height : 

 the back is brown, the belly white ; but those colours 

 are not separated by the same black streak which is to 

 be found in the rest of the gazell race. The eleventh 

 he terms the Lidme ; and the twelfth the Indian Ante- 

 lope : the horns of the former are extremely long, but, 

 of the latter, very small. 



To these may be added three or four more varieties ; 

 the first and most striking is the Bubalus; an animal 

 which bears an affinity to the cow, the goat, and the 

 deer : it resembles the stag in the size and figure of its
