Between C'apni ami ()\i.^, and the rxividu', or ax tribe, there is a scrie.s of 

 aiiiinaLs, in some re-^jieets partalviiii;- of tlie eliaraeter of botli. Altiioii^h 

 they liavc generally been con,siderctl in connection with the antelopes, they 

 niiay very [)ro[)er]y be styled the ox-like group. 



Aerontus BnhaJls. — The Bubalis. This animal inhabits the north of 

 Africa, and is about the size of a stag, biit resembling the cow in form. It 

 is of a yellowish-dun color, with the exception of the tail, which is black. 

 The horns are sharp, and turned backward. In defending itself, it places 

 the forehead parallel to the ground, between the fore logs, and in this position 

 cither waits for the attack, or rushes upon the assailant, and, at the moment 

 of contact, suddenly raising the head, inflicts terrible wounds of the most 

 dangerous character. 



Jjr(seliij)/ii(s 0/r«.y. — The Impoofo. The impoofo is a native of Sontli 

 Africa, and was formerly very abimdant in the Cape Colony. It exhibits, a 

 still nearer approach to the bovine form, by its clinnsy form, heavy gait, and 

 laro'C, hairv dewlaii. Accordiu"- to Lirhtcnstein, it is from seven to eioht 

 feet in length, and about four feet high. They are sometimes found in 

 groups of twenty or thirty, in which there are seldom more than one or two 

 males, which are fattest, and are alwaj'S singled out for destruction. They 

 run swiftly at first, but are easily run down. Their flesh resembles beef, 

 and is quite as good. Of the hides the natives make leather, and of the 

 liorns, tobacco pipes. 



tSlrepsiceros Koodoo. — The Koodoo. AVe are here introduced to an 

 animal which unites many of the characters of the ox, the sheep, and the ante- 

 lope. It is about eight feet in length, of a grayish-bufl' color, with a line of 

 white passing down its back, crossed .by six or seven others along the whole 

 body. It inhabits the woody regions of Caffraria, and the Karoo Jllountains.
