A. BuvaucelUi (H. Smith) was described from a drawing traced 

 from one of General Hardwicke's figures of this species, and badly 

 coloured, which Duvaucel sent to Paris without any notes. It has 

 no connection with C. Sumatreiisis, to which many naturalists have 

 referred it. In the Bengal Journal two Antelopes, said to resemble 

 the Goral, are mentioned as found in Affghanistan, one called Suja 

 and the other Goomast.
