172 MAMMALIA. 
A. saiga, Pall.; the Colus of Strabo; Schreb. CCLXXVI. (The 
Saiga). Which inhabits the heaths of the south of Poland and 
Russia, has horns similar to the Gazelle, but yellowish and transpa- 
rent. It is as large as the Deer, fawn coloured in summer, and of a 
whitish grey in winter; its cartilaginous, thick and vaulted muzzle, 
with very expanded nostrils, compels it to retrograde in feeding. 
The herd sometimes consists of more than ten thousand individuals. 
A. dama, Pall., Acad. of Berl. 1824, pl. iii. and iv. (The Nan- 
guer). Size of the C, dama; white; the forehead, neck and part 
of the back red; horns small and slender. From Nubia and 
Senegal*. 
b. Horns annulated, and with a triple curve. 
A. cervicapra, Pall., Buff. Supp. VI. xviii and xix. (The An- 
telope of India). Is also very like the Gazelle, but its horns have 
a triple flexure. They are used in India as weapons, formed by 
uniting them pair to pair, with the points opposed. They are de- 
ficient in the female. 
A. addax, Lichtenst}. Acad. Berl. 1824, pl. xi, and Ruppel. 
pl. vii. (The Antelope of Nubia). Also three curves in its horns, 
which are longer and more slender than those of the preceding; its 
body is whitish, tinged with grey on the back, and has a large brown 
spot on the forehead. 
ec. Horns annulated, with a double curve, but bending in an opposite direction 
to those of the preceding ones, the De ate backwards.— The 
Damauts of Smith, in part. 
A. bubalis, L.; Bubalis of the antients; Buff. Supp. VI. xiv; 
vulg. the Barbary Cow. (The Bubalis, of the antients). More 
heavily formed than the others; the head long and thick; as large 
as the Stag; fawn coloured, except at the end of the tail which is 
terminated with a black tuft. Common in Barbary. 
A. caama, Cuv.; vulg. Cape Stag of the Dutch; Buff. Supp. 
VI. pl. xv. (The Caama). Similar to the preceding, but the curves 
of the horns more angular; the circumference of their base, a band 
on the bottom of the forehead, a line on the neck, a longitudinal 
stripe on each leg, and the tip of the tail black. Common at the 
Cape. 
* The only specimen known to Buffon (tom. XII. pl. xxxiv) was a young one 
with horns curved simply forwards, which induced him to believe it was the Dama of 
Pliny. 
+ M. Lichtenstein gave it this name, under the idea that it is the same as the 
Addax or Strepsiceros of Pliny. It is seen on several of the antient monuments of 
Egypt. 
i this subdivision also belong the Kevil gris, F. Cuv. Mammif.—The Purple 
Antelope or Bonte-Bock of the Hollanders (A pygarga), Schreb. CCLXXIIJ.—The 
Black footed Antelope or Pallah, Sam. Daniels, Afric. Scen. pl. ix (4 melampus, Lich.) ; 
Schr. 274.—The Coba (A. senegalensis), of which we have nothing but the horns, 
Buff. XII. pl. xxxii, 2, unless it be the same as the Pallah.—The A. suturosa.—The 
A. mytilopes, H. Smith, and perhaps the Kob of Buff. which is probably the 4. aden- 
ota, Ham. Smith.
