4 oo THE ANTILOPES, 



The fecond antilope is found in Senegal, 

 where, according to Mr Adanfon,' it is called 

 kevel*. It is lefs than the common kind, and 

 is nearly of the fize of our fmall roebucks. Its 

 eyes are alfo larger than thofe of the gazelle, and 

 its horns, inftead of being round, are flattened 

 on the fides. This compreffion of the horns 

 proceeds not from a difference of fex ; for, in 

 both males and females, the horns of the one 

 fpecies are round, and of the other flat. In every 

 other article, the refemblance is complete. The 

 kevel, like the gazelle, has fhort yellow hair, 

 a white belly and thighs, a black tail, a brown 

 band under the flanks, three white itripes on the 

 ears, black horns furrounded with rings, longi- 

 tudinal furrows between the rings, &c. The 

 number of thefe rings, however, is greater in the 

 kevel than in the gazelle ; for the latter has ge- 

 nerally twelve or thirteen, and the former at 

 lead fourteen, and often eighteen.

 fhaped like thofe of the laft, but flatted on their fides. The 

 rings are more numerous, being from fourteen to eighteen.
