BOVID^, CERVID^, AND ANTILOPIDJB. 291 



Colvin piirposes presenting to the Asiatic Society. Our specimen, 

 however, has the advantage of possessing the craniuna and occiput 

 entire. 



2. From Jovrn, As. Soc. for 1843, vol. xii. p. 110. 



The Fossil differs from the Indian Antelope, in the greater elongation 

 of its face, the straightness of its profile, the close jiixta-position of its 

 horns at the base, the absence or small development of the infra-orbital 

 sinus, and the small size of the supra-orbital foramina. In all these 

 respects it resembles one or other of the African genera, from the de- 

 scriptions of which, by Captain Harris, I have extracted the following : — 



* Acronotus caama, or Hartebeest. — Head remarkably heavy, narrow, 

 and long. Horns seated upon the summit of a beetling ridge above the 

 frontals; very close together and almost touching at the base. No 

 sub-orbital sinus.' 



' Acronotus lunatus, or Sassayhe. — Head long, narrow, and shapeless, 

 wearing a bubaline appearance ; facial line straight ; eyes high in the 

 cranium ; indistinct lachrymal perforation.' 



As far, therefore, as can be judged from a description, which, like 

 the above, has no particular reference to the osteology of these ani- 

 mals, they appear to have a considerable resemblance to our Fossil. 

 [This specimen of Captain Baker's is now in the British Museum 

 (No. 39,594), and is represented in Plate XXIIL— Ed.]
