HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 103 



THE GRYS-BOK. 



(La Grinning Buff.) 



Is of a greyish or ash colour, with large black ears, 

 and a black ring round the eyes; straight black 

 horns, slender and sharp-pointed, not three inches 

 long, slightly annulated at the base : its height is 

 about eighteen inches ; and it is most elegantly 

 formed : beneath each eye is a cavity that contains 

 a strong-scented oily liquor, which smells some- 

 thing like musk, and, when exposed to the air, 

 becomes hard and black. It is the Guinea Antelope 

 of Mr. Pennant. 



THE KLIP-SPRINGER. 



Is of a light red colour, inclining to yellow, in- 

 termixed with black streaks ; the tips and edges of 

 its ears are black : it runs with great swiftness, and 

 makes large bounds, even on the steepest preci- 

 pices, and in the most rocky places, where it 

 cannot easily be caught with Hounds.
