54 MR. E. BLYTH ON TWO NEW ANTELOPES. [Jan. 14, 
smaller than the South-African one, but does not notice the absence 
of long hair in front of the neck*. There is, however, an Abyssi- 
nian specimen of an adult male in the British Museum, which was

* In a presentation copy of the ‘Systematische Uebersicht der Vogel Nord- 
Ost-Africas,’ in the library of the Asiatic Society, Calcutta, there is bound up a

occurs ; but in the ‘ Neue Wirbelthiere’ &c. (p. 20), the large Koodoo is evidently 
the species referred to, as the fringe of hair in front of the neck is mentioned.
