Cervicapra SparrMan, 1780. Ungulata, Artiodactyla, Bovidee. 
K. Vetensk. Akad. nya Handlingar, Stockholm, I, 275-281, Oct.-Dec., 1780. — 
Type: Antilope cervicapra ( Linnzeus), from India. 
In an article on the ‘Springbock’ of the Cape region (now known as Antidorcas 
euchore) Sparrman says that Pallas calls thisanimal Antilope pygargus. Sparrman 
also mentions Capra cervicapra of Linneeus, based on figures by Houttein and 
Dodart, but states that the latter figure does not fit the Springbock. He adds: 
“The name Cervicapra might be applied to the entire group of Gazelles, to 
indicate a form intermediate between the deer and goats." This name was 
called to the attention of Mr. Oldfield Thomas, of the British Museum, who, 
after consulting Mr. Bather, replied: ‘‘ We agree that the name should be con- 
sidered as validly founded, but that (on the name rule) the type of it would 
be Antilope cervicapra Linn... .
