M?'. Hills on the Antilope Cliickarn. 505 



sent you, are individuals of the same species, although shades of 

 difference do exist amongst them. I submit that the descriptions 

 and drawings of the General's Antilope and INl. Duvaucel's, by a 

 singular coincidence, must have both been made from imperfect 

 specimens with regard to the first pair of horns, as an inspection 

 of the two skulls now in the College Museum will make clearly 

 manifest. 



There is a difference of three inches between the height at the 

 shoulder, as estimated by General Ilardwicke, and that which I 

 have given ; but I followed the projection of the shoulder from 

 the spine. The General probably placed his animal under an 

 horizontal bar. 



How easily it may happen, that accounts drawn up with equal 

 care and correctness, by ditf'erent persons, of the same animal, 

 and even of the same individual (and more particularly if it be of 

 the deer kind), shall, owing to some unconsidered variation of 

 circumstances, appear to arraign the fidelity of each other ! 



I am. Sir, 



Your most humble servant, 



Robert Hills.
