ORDER RUMINANT! A. 279 



and is represented as singularly active arid lively. We have 

 seen the spoils of two males ; the head and skulls of both 

 sexes are in the Royal College of Surgeons, and several 

 drawings, among which those transmitted to M. Cuvier by 

 the late M. Duvaucel. 



Duvaucel' s Antelope. (A. Duvaucelii.) This provi- 

 sional name is proposed for an animal of this group, the 

 figure of which was sent with the above by M. Duvaucel ; 

 but we believe the description never reached M. Cuvier. 

 Judging from the drawing, it may be considered an animal 

 nearly allied to the Cambing Ootan, somewhat higher at 

 the shoulders, equally robust in the limbs, and about the 

 head, but with horns still more recumbent, apparently less 

 annulated and straighter ; the lachrymary opening not per- 

 ceptible ; the muzzle smaller; the hair closer and shorter ; 

 the tail a little longer ; the colours entirely ashy gray-brown, 

 more rufous on the inner face of the limbs and thighs ; the 

 lips and chin, lower part of the jaw and gullet, white; a 

 small white mane from the nape to the withers standing 

 erect, or reclined backwards, edged at the base with a black 

 line ; the hoofs are longer and more pointed than in the 

 preceding. 



M. F. Cuvier permitted us to take a copy of the original 

 drawing in his possession ; the habitat is unknown to us. 



The Goral. (A. Goral.) The Goral is in size equal to the 

 Common Goat, being three feet one inch in length, and two 

 feet at the shoulder. The head is conical, rather compressed 

 and tapering suddenly from the eyes to the snout, very 

 wide across the cheeks, and narrowing toward the fore- 

 head ; the horns are black, four inches and a half lone - , 

 subulate, approximating at base, gently bending backwards 

 and slightly diverging ; they are smooth, excepting at their 

 base, which is marked with five or six rings, occupying 

 about one-third of the whole length ; the eyes are rather 

 large, of a dark brown, surrounded with a circle of whitish
