218 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



These individuals, though not adult, were in size above 

 the Corinnas, before described, and larger than Mr. Adan- 

 son's noted dimensions ; their colour was much more red. 

 The two black streaks on each side of the face, and particu- 

 larly a more anterior position of the horns, seem sufficient to 

 warrant a separate place being assigned them, even if their 

 native country were not so far east as Persia or Eastern 

 Arabia. We have but one suspicion relating to them, 

 which is that they might be the young of A. Gutturosa, but 

 in that case the species would inhabit a latitude as hot as 

 that of Barbary, as well as countries abounding in snow, 

 which is not likely. Under these impressions we propose 

 the provisional name of Cora * as a distinguishing desig- 

 nation, leaving the question of identity to be settled by 

 future investigation. It were to be wished that, instead of 

 multiplying the species, those described might be com- 

 pressed into fewer, and clearly established as mere va- 

 rieties of age or locality : but there is an equal impropriety 

 in being swayed by a desire either way so long as every 

 circumstance connected with this history is not fully de- 

 veloped, and we certainly are still far short of that end : 

 these observations apply to the whole of the minor group. 

 Kevella appeared to us as the old adult of Dorcas, but 

 having since seen that species with only eleven whole and 

 half annuli, though the horns had the bolder flexures and 

 compressed character assigned them, and Dorcas with 

 fourteen complete and half rings, but the horns round 

 and more developed, we have returned to the more ancient 

 opinion that they are really different species. 



The Antelopine Group. 



This racemus is nearly allied to the former in manners 

 and habits, in the general structure of its forms, the 

 number of mammae of the females, and the inguinal pores ; 



* Cora, a xopv, puella.
