ANTILOPE CERVICAPRA. 147 



The heart is very much pointed at the apex. There are two azygos 

 reins, the left being the larger. 



This animal I have called Le Gorine, as it resembled a print which 

 is so called by Buffon ; but, from comparing that with the male ante- 

 lope 1 , two of which I had from Lord Clive, it would appear to be the 

 female antelope ; only in the male the black stroke is not so observable 

 as in the corine. The male antelope has the cavity between the pastern 

 joints ; the two cavities on each side of the nipples ; there being two 

 nipples. 



Both the corine and the above antelope have exactly the same turns 

 of colon as the goat. 



The epiploon in the antelope only makes a cover for the lower and 

 anterior part of the cross bag of the stomach ; it does not cover the 

 intestines. 



The Antelope [Antilope cervicapra, Pall.] . 



The ears are small, like those of a sheep or goat. 



The pelvis in both the goat and antelope is more a distinct cell than 

 in many other animals. The iliac bones, in many, make a kind of arch 

 upon the spine ; in others, from the sacrum projecting back, the pelvis 

 looks like a cell at the lower part of the abdomen and pubis, becoming- 

 more in a line with the spine. 



The turns of the colon are not upon the mesentery, as in the goat, 

 but are loose, not quite so circular, but more oblong : they are not so 

 regular towards the centre ; some are longer than others 2 . 



The liver consists of one lobe, with a fissure in it, as in the human, 

 for the umbilical vein : it lies more in the right half of the abdomen, 

 and is thinner in its base, than in the human. 



The spleen is like a cow's ; the inner edge adheres all along to the 

 right crus of the diaphragm : the outer edge is loose or unattached. 



The kidneys are as in a sheep, the right being highest. 



The capsulae renales are small bodies, placed at the upper end of the 

 kidneys, of a cineritious colour. 



The male parts are as in a bull. The vasa deferentia do not commu- 

 nicate with what may be called vesiculse seminales. 



The female parts are of the cow-kind. There are two ' crura 

 clitoridis,' or ' musculi clitoridis,' and a middle ligament passes up to 

 the glans in a serpentine course : the glans is just at the peak of the 

 vagina. 



The common vagina is about 2 inches long. Just at the beginning of
