314- MAMMALIA. PECORA. Antelope. 



Inhabits Senegal. — This animal is lefs than a Roe; the neck, body, and flanks are of a tawny yel- 

 low colour, the infides of the thighs and belly are white, and a dark line, along the fides, divides the 

 two colours; the knees are tufted with hair; the ears are large; the horns are about fix inches long, 

 almoft upright, bending a little outwards in the middle, and fomewhat approaching at the tips, the 

 lower parts being furrounded with circular wrinkles. This fpecies refembles the Kevel, in colour, fize, 

 fwiftnefs, and mufky odour ; but differs very much from it in the figure of the horns ; though Dr 

 Gmelin, following the celebrated Pallas, is difpofed to fufpecl: that it is the -female of that fpecies.

■Inhabits Africa, efpecialiyBa-/bary,'but is likewife found near the Cape of Good Hope and in Arabia. — 

 Is about four feet high, and of a middle appearance between the general form of the Deer and Ox tribes, 

 with the head refembling that of an Ox : The horns are about twenty inches long, very ftrong and 

 black, almoft clofe at their bafes, and diftant at the points; the general colour is a reddifh brown, the 

 -belly, inner fide of the thighs, and a'fpace about the rump are white ; with a dark coloured bed on 

 the ridge of the back, the upper part of the fore legs, and hinder parts of the thighs; the tail is about 

 p. foot long, is terminated by a tuft of longifh hairs, and refembles that of an Afs. It feeds folitarily, 

 gallops heavily, yet with great fwiftnefs, fights on -its knees, and the flefii is reckoned rather dry. 

 . This fpecies, according to Mr Pennant, is the animal called Hart-beeft at the Cape, and Sparrmann 

 is quoted by Dr Gmelin as defcribing it under the fame name in thaStockholm Tranfactions, though 

 the figure of the Hart-beeft, in his journey to the Cape, differs very confiderably in the form of the 

 horns, which bend much backws-ds at their ends, from which it is more probably the next fpecies.
