236 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



deep brown colour. From these characters it is evident that 

 the specimen is old, yet the colours on the fur are not the 

 same as in India, for they are rufous-brown, or deep tawny, 

 without lateral streaks all over the animal, excepting the 

 nose, mouth, space round the eyes, a spot on the throat, 

 breast, belly, inside of the limbs, buttocks, and inferior 

 part of the tail, which are white ; there are small tufts on 

 the knees, but none at the end of the tail ; the female is 

 without horns, with more white on the nose, no spot round 

 the orbits, but one below them, and none on the throat, 

 and the fulvous parts paler : this description agrees with 

 the extracts quoted by Buffbn from Marmol and Shaw. 



Beside the above, we made a drawing of a third speci- 

 men in the Philadelphia Museum, which, we believe, was 

 brought at the same time from Morocco, and was viewed 

 by Mr. Peel as a species he could not refer to a known An- 

 telope. It may, however, be presumed to be a younger 

 specimen of the former. The height at the shoulder was 

 less than the foregoing, the neck, body, and whole structure, 

 more slender, and the head narrower; the horns about 

 eight inches long, are almost straight, being only slightly 

 wavy, seven or eight annuli mark three-fifths of the lower 

 end, the rest is smooth and pointed, and the colour earthy 

 brown ; the lachrymary opening is scarcely perceptible ; 

 the whole head, back of the ears, neck, back, anterior part 

 of the fore-legs, flanks, croup, thighs, and hind-legs, are 

 pale tawny ; the throat, breast, belly, inside of the limbs, 

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

 faint indication of a dark line separates the two colours on 

 the flanks, and on the croup ; the tail is short, dun above 

 and white beneath, with a dark tip, but no tuft; the 

 brushes on the knees scarce developed, and the hoofs low 

 and black. 



Of Antilope Cervicapra we have noted, compared, and 

 sketched above thirty specimens, living, and in the stuffed
