chus, Cervus, and Antclaus, It is remarkable that in many, if not in moit 

 fpecies of Antelope, a fort of cavity or finus exifts under the eye. This 

 particularity takes place in a very remarkable manner in the creature at pre- 

 fent under confideration ; and in the living animal is even more ftrikingly 

 confpicuous dian in the Antelopes themfelves. 



The whole animal is extremely elegant in its appearance ; its colour is a 

 clear yellowifh bay ; fomewhat paler beneath. The horns are very fhort, 

 fmooth, black, and moderately /harp. On the forehead between the horns is 

 a very confpicuous tuft of ereft black hairs of a ftronger nature than the reft 

 of the body. This forms one of its moft ftriking charafters as a fpecies; 

 it inclines a little backwards, and has an acute termination. The eyes are 

 large, the hoofs fmall and black. 



This animal is a native of Africa, and particularly of Guinea. It is of a 

 wild, timid nature ; is poffefled of the greateft degree of agility, and in its 

 general habits and manner of life refembles the generality of the Antelope 

 tribe.
