RUMINANTIA. 195 
4. gazella, L.; Ant. leucoryx, Licht., Acad. Berl. 1824, pl. i. 
(The Algazel.) Horns long, slender, and slightly curved into an 
arc of a circle; hair whitish, variously tinged with a fawn or 
reddish colour. Found in north Africa, from Nubia to Sene- 
gal. It is often sculptured on the monuments of Egypt and 
Nubia; and M. Lichtenstein thinks it is the true Oryx of the 
ancients.(1) 
g. Horns annulated with a simple curve, the points directed backwards. 
A. leucophea, Gm.; improperly called Tseiran, Buff. Supp. 
VI, pl. xx. (The Blue Antelope.) A little larger than the 
Stag, of a bluish ash colour; large horns in both sexes, uni- 
formly curved, and with upwards of twenty annull. 
A. equina, Geoff. (The Equine Antelope.)(2) As large asa 
horse; of a reddish grey; brown head; a white spot before 
each eye; a mane on the neck; large horns, &c. 
‘A. sumatrensis, Shaw; Cambing-Outang or Goat of the 
Woods of the Malays; Fr. Cuv. Mammif.; and Marsden, Su- 
mat. 2d Ed. pl. x. (The Antelope of Sumatra.) Size ofa large 
goat; black; a white mane on the neck and withers; the 
horns pointed and small.(3) 
h. Horns encircled with a spiral ridge. 
4. oreas, Pall.; Elk of the Cape of the Hollanders ; impro- 
perly called Coudous by Buff. Supp. VI, pl. xii. (The Canna 
or Impooko.) As large as the largest horse ; large, conical, 
straight horns, surrounded by a spiral ridge; hair greyish; a 
from a drawing made in Persia in 1717, appears to be a mere variety of the Oryza, 
or perhaps of an Algazel viewed in front. 
(1) The English speak of an Antelope with almost straight horns, stiff hairs 
woolly at their base, which sometimes loses one of its horns, from the mountains 
of Thibet, which was pointed out to them as corresponding with the Unicorn, 
which is one of the supporters of their coat of arms. Itis called Chiru. M. Ham, 
Smith thinks it may be the Kemas of Aslian, I, xiv, c. 14. 
(2) We have definitively ascertained that it is the Equine Antelope which is 
now called the Koba in Senegal. The A. redunca or Nagor of Buff. is there 
called the Mibill. 
(3) Add the 2. goral, Hardw. Lin. Trans. XIV, pl. xiv, and in the Mammif. F. 
Cuv. under the name of Bouquetin de Nepaul; the A. sylvicultriz. There should, 
also, probably, be added the American woolly species, with long hair and very 
small horns, (4, lanigera, Smith) Lin. Trans. XIU, pl. iv, and perhaps the 
one Séba represents, I, pl. xlii, x, iii, and which M. Ham. Smith calls 2. mazama. 
There is nothing, however, to prove that the Mazames of Hernandez are not the 
Stags and Roebucks of America, as is observed by that author, who compares them 
to the Stags and Roebucks of Spain.
