lope, which was exhibited to the Meeting. This animal lived for 

 some time in the menagerie, having been presented to the Society 

 by W. Willshire, Esq., Corresponding Member, who procured it at 

 Mogadore. It is closely allied to the AntUope Dorcas and A. Ara- 

 bica, and most nearly resembles the latter in its colouring, but is 

 readily distinguished by its much greater size ; its total length, from 

 the tip of the muzzle to the tail, being about forty-three inches, and 

 its height twenty-eight inches : the ears of the Mogadore animal are 

 moreover proportionately larger, measuring in height about 6| inches, 

 or rather more. Like A. Arabica, it has a black patch on the upper 

 surface of the muzzle, and a black line on either side of the face, 

 extending forwards from the eye, and terminating above the angle 

 of the mouth : the dark band on the Hanks is very broad, and of a 

 deep brown colour, inclining to black ; there is also a distinct broad- 

 ish black mark on each side of the rump ; the fore knees are fur- 

 nished with distinct black tufts. The specimen is a female, and has 

 slender horns, about equal to the ears in length ; the horns are in- 

 distinctly lyrated, in fact, nearly straight, and exhibit eleven or 

 twelve annulations, four or five of which, at the base of the horn, 

 are very close together. Mr. Ogilby stated that he had observed 

 specimens of the same species in the Paris Museum, and that it was 

 the intention of M. F. Cuvier to have described them ; he should 

 therefore propose the name Cuvieri be used to distinguish the spe- 

 cies. 



The Secretary also called the attention of the Members present to 

 a species of Musk Deer, from Sierra Leone, which had been brouo-ht 

 from that part of Africa by Mr. Whitfield, who had kindly allovved 

 it to be exhibited to the Meeting. In general colour, and in the 

 markings on the throat, this species most nearly resembles the Mos- 

 chus Sanleyanus, but its body has spots and markings nearly similar 

 to those in the M. memin7ia ; it is much larger, however, than either 

 of these species, being, in size, about midway between them and the 

 M. moschiferus . The chief interest attached to this animal is the 

 locality in which it is found, the well-established species of Mos- 

 chus being either from the continent of India or the islands of the 

 Indian Archipelago. Mr. Ogilby stated that the present animal 

 could not be identified with the Moschus Guineensis of Brisson 

 Gmelin, and some other of the older authors ; it was therefore ne- 

 cessary to give it a new name, and he proposed for that purpose the 

 name of M. Aquaticus, in allusion to the peculiar habits of the spe- 

 cies which wiU be described more at length in the Transactions of 

 the Society.
