216 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



more than in the Dorcas or Kevella; the nose and mouth 

 were white, which colour passed upwards to and round the 

 eyes ; the chaffron bright fulvous, as also a small space be- 

 tween the eye and nose separating the white line from the 

 cheek ; the forehead, back of the ears, cheeks, neck, back, 

 outer part of the upper arm, and middle of the thigh, were 

 sandy or pale ochre, fawn mixed with a little gray towards 

 the flanks ; the inside of the ears marked with three streaks ; 

 the breast, belly, inside of the limbs, anterior pasterns, an- 

 terior edge of the thighs, buttocks, the whole hind -legs 

 and under part of the tail, were white; small darkish tufts 

 protected the knees of the male ; the upper part and tuft 

 of the tail, which was still shorter than in Kevella, were 

 blackish, and a chestnut-coloured band ran along the flank. 

 The female was smaller, similarly marked ; the horns 

 shorter than the ears, seemed to have only a few swellings 

 on their surface, the points, however, were turned inwards; 

 both had very slight indications of a lachrymary sinus, 

 their hoofs were very small and black ; they were rather 

 corpulent when compared with the usual lank appearance 

 of this group, but too timid and liable to injury for more 

 accurate investigation. We made sketches of this pair, 

 which was said to have been kept some time at Sierra 

 Leone before they were brought to Europe, and it was 

 added that the fawns are spotted. We should not hesitate 

 to consider these as the Korin of Adanson, if we had been 

 able to ascertain the exact nature of the wrinkles on the 

 horns, which, according to him, should amount to sixty ; 

 but they were distinctly marked only at the base of ours, 

 and whether friction in captivity might not have oblite- 

 rated them on the upper parts, we may presume but cannot 

 positively determine. 



The Cora. (A. Cora.) There existed a pair of small 

 Antelopes in the tower of London, one of which was after- 

 wards stuffed and preserved in that establishment; they
