were male and female, said to have been brought from 

 India, or more properly from the Persian Gulph ; they 

 were taken for Corinnas, but shewed distinguishing cha- 

 racters which make this opinion very doubtful. The male 

 was equal in size with Kevella; the head round, with the 

 nose and mouth small, tapering, uniting to the forehead by 

 a concave line. The specimens were both young; the 

 horns, not much developed, stood upon a middle line be- 

 tween the orbits; they were about four inches long, in the 

 female, suberect, the points slightly bent back, smooth, 

 round, without striae, black, and pointed: instead of an- 

 nuli a circular groove marked about the third of their 

 length. It was near three feet two inches long, twenty 

 inches high at the shoulder ; from the nose to the horns 

 five inches, and from the nose to the occiput seven inches 

 and an half; the ears four inches, pointed wide in the 

 middle, and furnished with three white striae on their inner 

 surface; the suborbital sinus not perceptible, and the 

 nose ovine. A dark streak passed through the eyes to- 

 wards the nose, and a second from the base of the horns to 

 near the nostrils ; the forehead and chaffron were bright 

 rufous; the mouth and nose white, as also the space be- 

 tween the two dark streaks, passing over the eyes to the 

 back of and under the orbits ; the occiput dark-brown ; the 

 cheeks fawn-coloured; the outside of the ears, neck, throat, 

 shoulders, back, thighs, and outside of the legs yellowish- 

 rufous, or rust colour ; the breast, belly, inside of the 

 limbs, anterior part of the thighs and buttocks, white; a 

 dark streak on the flanks ; on the knees, perhaps from con- 

 finement, there was a small callosity; the tail, five inches 

 long, was furnished with long black hair, and the anterior 

 face of the pasterns to between the hoofs shewed a tuft of 

 dark-brown hair; the pastern joints were very long, the 

 hoofs small, pointed, and black, and the croup was con- 

 siderably higher than the shoulders.
