MAMMALIA. 95 



M. Sundevall considers specimens of the Nagor of Senegal 

 and the Bohor of Abyssinia, in the Frankfort Museum, as di- 

 stinct, the former having the hair of the back whorled, the fore- 

 leg with a dark stripe, and the latter having the hair not whorled 

 and the legs pale. Our specimens, from Gambia, have the hair 

 not whorled, and more or less distinct streaks on the fore-legs ; 

 hence I am inclined to believe the Nagor and the Bohor to be 

 alike. Sundevall' s animal may be the Kob, but that has only 

 one whorl on each end of the back, a nearly cervine muffle, and 

 the end of the tail black. 



When in Frankfort, I observed that the male Antilope Bohor, 

 from Abyssinia, was rather larger than the male of "A. redunca" 

 from Senegal, in the same collection, and much brighter, and the 

 horns more slender ; the female was darker and browner than 

 the male ; both sexes have more black on the carpus and tarsus 

 than the specimen of A. redunca in the same Museum. 



Note. Antilope fulvo-rufula, Afzel. N. Act. Upsal. vii. 289 ; 

 A. Eleotragus var. fulvo-rufula, Fischer, Syn. 465; Ritbock 

 var., Allam. Buffon H. N. Supp. v. 34; Braunroth Antelope, 

 Schreb. Saugth. 1226 is a very doubtful species, if not the 

 same as the former. 



RAPHICERUS. 



Raphicerus (acuticornis), H . Smith, Griffith A. K. v. 842, 1822 ; 

 Fischer, Syn. ii. 624. 



Is a very doubtful genus. Colonel Hamilton Smith formed it 

 for two pairs of horns on part of the frontal bones in the College 

 of Surgeons, which he called Raphicerus acuticornis and R. sub- 

 ulata (Griffith, A. K. 1. 181. f. 2. 1). The figures are not suffi- 

 cient to identify the species, and we now know that the horns of 

 the same species differ greatly in individuals of the same species, 

 and during the growth of the same specimen. R. acuticornis 

 may be the horns of the Duyker Boc, Ceph. Grimmia ?
