The Chikara are not gregarious. They have lyrate horns, 

 common to both sexes, knee-tuft, line along the flanks, and ovins 

 nose of the Gazelles of Africa, but they are wholly destitute of 

 the eye-pits ; they have the large, dark-lustred eyes of the An- 

 telopes, very unlike the small, pale-eyed Goats. Hodgson. 



Mr. Hodgson separates this genus from Gazella, because he 

 declares it has no crumen ; but Mr. Turner, who says he has seen 

 a skull, describes it as being a typical Gazella ; and Colonel Sykes 

 described the suborbital sinuses as very small, not observable in 

 dried skins, nor does the animal dilate them unless very much 

 alarmed. P. Z. S. 1831, 106.
