1910. 1 CUTANEOUS SCENT-GLANDS OF RUMINANTS. 913 



together extended from tlie heels almost up to tlie i)r()xiinal end of 

 the anterior ridge of the nail. The npical angle of the nail was 

 also less acute than in Cerviccqjra redunca and Adenota koh, the 

 hoofs more appronching tliose of Goats and Sheep in shape — in 

 accordance, no doubt, with the mountain liabitat of Pelea. 



A well-known distinguishing feature of Pelea as compared 

 with Cercicapra and /ibft^sis the enlarged and swollen rhinarium, 

 which has a widely rounded posterior border extending back- 

 wards beyond the posterior notch of the nostril. This i-hinarium 

 is glandular. In the living animal it became studded with drops 

 of moisture under the stimulus of excitement or pleasure, and 

 after death was easily made by pi'essure to yield the same 

 substance. 



Like Oervicapra and Koines, Pelea has two pairs of manuna\ 



Genus Cervicapka l^lainv. 



Owen noticed the absence of preorbital and the presence of 

 inguinal glands in three species of this genus, namely, in 

 C '. redunca, the Nagor, a Senegambian species ; in C. arundbiKia, 

 Avliich he quoted an AntilojJe eleotragus; and in 0.fulvorufida,\i I 

 am right in supposing he meant tins species by A. landiana, the 

 latter name being, I surmise, wi'itten in error for lalandia or 

 lulandii. 



1 ha.ve examined only fresh material of one species, namely tlie 

 following.

Owen does not state how many inguinal glan<ls he discovered 

 in the species he examined, l:)ut in two examples of C. redanca, 

 fi'om Senegambia, presented by Sir George Denton, I found two 

 pairs of sacs. The anterior sac on each side was wide-mouthed 

 but shallow, the glandular are<a into which ii dipped Ijeing only 

 slightly vascular. The posterior sac, lying rather nearer the 

 middle line and close to the scrotum, was, on the contrary, 

 14 inches deep, of even width throughout, the oiifice being about 

 I an inch in diameter and not half the width of the oi-iiice of the 

 anterior sac. Its glandular area was very thick and vascular. 

 Both pouches secreted a semifluid substance, turning yellow and 

 waxy at the orifice and giving off an odour of flour-pnste going 

 stale, which to me was most nauseous. 



There were no preorbital glands. 



In one specimen I found no trace of pedal glands ; but in the 

 other there was a very small hair-lined pouch opening into the 

 shallow hair-lined depression on the front of the pastern just 

 above the angle formed l)y the junction of the integument of this 

 surface with the strip of naked skin extending from the front to 

 the heel of the hoofs and binding the two together. There
