the Shah Nameh ; it is said to be common in Bahrein, and along the 

 coasts of the Persian Gulf, and also on the western side of the Indus, as 

 far as Candahar. 



No. 47. Sub-genus Damalis. 



Sp. D. caama. The Caama. 



Horns and part of the Skull. 



Presented by R. Home, Esq., if this is the specimen put down 

 in the list of donations to the Museum in the 12th volume of the Re- 

 searches as " a skull of the Cape Antelope." The animal named by the 

 Caffers, Caama, is the Harte beest of the colonists ; and the Cervine 

 Antelope of Pennant and Shaw. 



No. 48. Gen. Antelope. 



Sp. A. Thar. The Thar Antelope, 



Horns and part of the Skull. 



No. 49. Horns of the last species. 



No. 50. A horn of the Thar Antelope (?) 



This horn differs from the preceding in being more robust, more 

 gradually tapering, not so sharp at the point, not transversely wrinkled 

 so far down, nor so much wrinkled longitudinally, as they are ; and in 

 the rings being more numerous, and better defined than in them. 

 These differences are so marked as to lead to a doubt, if the two are of 

 the same species. 



No. 51. ^i Sp. Antelope? 



52. Skull and Horns. 



53. y There are three skulls, and some detached horns of 



54. this species in the Museum. They were presented by Mr. 



55. J G. T. Lushington ; and came, it appears, from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Bhurtpore. The species is unknown to me ; and per- 

 haps is a new one. 



The last specimen (No. 55) has the horns apparently distorted, 

 being more lyrated, and more bent inward at the tips, than the others. 

 No. 56.^ Sp. Antelope chiru. — The Chiru.

57. I Horns of the Chiru. 



58. V Presented by Lieut. Robison. The Chiru, or Unicorn as 



59. I it is still absurdly called, is by some supposed to be the 



60. J Kemas of Elian. All the specimens (except No. 56. which 



appear to be a pair) are odd horns, or of unequal length.
