Mr. Gray, in his paper " On the Arrangement of the Hollow - 

 horned Ruminants (Bovidce)" (Annals fy Mag. Nat. Hist. 1849, 

 xviii. 229), observes, " The systematic arrangement of these 

 animals has been one of the most difficult subjects for the stu- 

 dent of mammalia. 



"Linnaeus (Syst.Nat. i. 27), in his last edition of the Sy- 

 stema Nature, divides them into three genera according to the 

 direction of the horn, which he describes as erect in Capra, re- 

 clinate in Ovis, and porrect in Bos, and separates these from 

 Cervus because they have tubular, while that genus has solid 

 branched and deciduous horns. 



" Gmelin in his edition adds to these the genus Antilope, which 

 had been established by Pallas, and characterizes that genus as 

 having solid horns like the Cervi, but simple and persistent. 

 Now I need scarcely observe that these characters will not define
