OR GAZELLES. 4 oi 



The third antilope we (hall denominate corbie*, 

 from the name korin, which it bears, according 

 to M. Adanfon, in Senegal. It has a great re- 

 femblance to the gazelle and kevel. But it is 

 ftill fmaller than the kevel, and its horns are 

 thinner, fhorter, and fmoother, the rings which 

 encircle them being hardly perceptible. M* 

 Adanfon, who communicated to me his defcrip- 

 tion of this animal, fays, that it appeared to par~ 

 take fomewhat of the chamois goat, but that it 

 was much fmaller, being only two feet and a 

 half long, and lefs than two feet high ; that his 

 ears are four inches and a half in length, the tail 

 three inches, the horns fix inches, long, and on- 

 ly half an inch thick ; that they are two inches 

 afimder at the bafe, and from five to fix at their 

 extremities ; that, innead of rings, they have cir- 

 cular rugae, very near each other in the inferior 

 part, and more diftant in the fuperior; that theie 

 rugae, which hold the place of rings, are about 

 fixteen in number ; that the hair of this animal f 

 which is ihort, Alining, and clofe fet, is yellow 

 on the back and flanks, white on the belly and

* The corine, or fpotted antilope, has very (lender horns, 

 fix inches long, and furrounded with circular rugae. It is 

 lefs than a roebuck. Qn each fide of the face there is a white 

 line. The neck, bod)', and flanks, are tawny j the belly and 

 infide of the thighs white, which is feparated from the fides 

 by a dark line. On the knees there is a tuft of hair. Some 

 are irregularly fpotted with white. Perhaps thefe are the 

 fpotted goats of Kolben, torn. 2. p. 115.; Pennant, Synopf, of
