18785. Part of the left frontal and horn-core of a smaller spe- 

 cimen, apparently belonging to the same species ; from 

 the Siwaliks of Perim Island. Purchased, 1845. 



Genus ALCELAPHUS, Blainville 1 . 



Including Damalis, Gray. 



Alcelaphus palseindicus (Falconer 2 ). 



Syn. Antilope palceindica , Falconer 3 . 



In its general contour and proportions the cranium is very similar 

 to that of Alcelaphus tora, but there is a concavity in the frontal 

 profile, and a great difference in the direction of the horn-cores, 

 which agrees more nearly with that obtaining in A. albifrons and 

 A. pygargus. 



Sab. India.
