MAMMALIA. 77 



crested, forming a tuft between the horns. Horns short, conical, 

 far back on the hinder edge of the frontal bone, and inclined 

 backwards. Skull without any suborbital fissure, a large sub- 

 orbital pit occupying the whole side of the cheek; the nasal 

 bones expanded behind, reaching over on the sides into the sub- 

 orbital pit ; in other respects like Oreotragus.

Professor Sundevall adopts Mr. Ogilby's name for the genus. 

 Cephalophus was first used ; but he rejects it, because it is badly 

 formed. Wagler has emendated Colonel H. Smith's name by 

 changing it to Cephalolophus. Pecora, 66. 



Professor Sundevall has in his specific characters laid some 

 stress on the direction of the lachrymal streak. I find, on com- 

 paring different specimens of the same species, that little reliance 

 can be placed on this character, in stuffed specimens at least, for 

 the direction of the streak is altered according as the skin of the 

 face is more or less stretched. Gray, Ann. 4* Mag. N. H. xviii.

" * Knees and hind legs tufted. Ears and horns elongate. Cru- 

 men under the eyes, and a narrow naked streak on cheeks."
