 Sylvicaprina, Bovina, Antilopina, et Caprina, part., Sundevall,

Antelopes, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1850, 111. 

 Cerophorus, sp., Blainv. Bull. Soc. Phil. 1816. 



The Antelopes have been divided into various subgenera by 

 different authors. 



Lichtenstein, " Die Gattung Antilope," divides the genus into 

 four tribes. 1. Bubalides. 2. Connochaetes. 3. Antilopae Ge- 

 nuinae. 4. Gazellse. Berl. Mag. 1814, vi. p. 153. 



De Blainville divides the genus Cerophorus thus: 1. Anti- 

 lope. 2. Gazella. 3. Cervicapra. 4. Alcelaphus. 5. Trage- 

 laphus. 6. Boselaphus. 7- Oryx. 8. Rupicapra. Bull. Soc. 

 Philom. 1816, 175. 



M. Desmarest, in his Species of Mammalia, adopted M. De 

 Blainville' s arrangement, separating Oreas from Boselaphus, and 

 Antilocapra from Rupicapra. Mamm. 4to, 1820. 



Fischer, in his Synopsis Mammalium, also follows De Blain- 

 ville' s divisions. 8vo, 1829. 



M. Gervais, in his article " Antilope," regards the subgenera 

 of De Blainville as genera, and uses the divisions of H. Smith 

 and Ogilby to divide them into sections. It appears to be a mere 

 compilation, thus: 1. Antilope. 2. Gazella. 3. Cervicapra. 

 a. Dama. b. Redunca. c. Tragulus. d. Raphicerus. e. Te- 

 tracerus. /. Cephalophus. g. Neotragus. h. Nemorhedus. 

 i. Kemas. 4. Rupicapra. a. Capricornis. b. Dicranocerus. 

 c. Rupicapra. d. Pantholops. e. Antilocapra. f. Anoa. 5. Oryx, 

 a. JEgocerus. b. Oryx. 6. Alcelaphus. 7- Tragelaphus. 8. Bos- 

 elaphus. Supp. N. Diet. Sci. Nat. i. 260, 1840. 



Colonel Hamilton Smith, in Griffith A. K. v., divides the An- 

 telopes of Pallas into three genera : 



I. ANTILOPE. Subdivided into 1. Dicranocerus. 2. ^Ego- 

 cerus. 3. Oryx. 4. Gazella. 5. Antilope. 6. Redunca. 7- 

 Tragulus. 8. Raphicerus. 9. Tetracerus. 10. Cephalophus. 

 11. Neotragus. 12. Tragelaphus. 13. Nemorhedus. 14. Ru- 

 picapra. 15. Aplocerus. 16. Anoa. 



II. DAMALIS. Divided into 1. Acronotus. 2. Boselaphus. 

 3. Strepsiceros. 4. Portax. 



III. CATOBLEPAS. Translated in Fischer, Synopsis Mam- 

 malia, ii. 623, and in Lesson, Complet. Buffon, x. 278, 300, 314, 

 1836.
