* Sclater and Thomas, " Book of Antelopes," vol. i, p. 60, after 

 referring to the mixing up of two distinct antelopes by Buffon in 

 the description of his " koba," write as follows : — "The best course 

 seems to be to ignore Buffon's animal altogether, and to reject the 

 names koba and senegalensis that have been founded upon it, although 

 there can be no doubt that the korrigum, as now described, is the 

 Antilope, and Damalis, senegalensis of Children, Hamilton Smith, 

 Gray, and many authors." In a foot-note it is added that the following 

 are the chief references to the koba : —

the horn pi. xxxii, fig. 2.
