same plane as the forehead, the points turning upwards ”*. 
Our coloured figure of this Antelope (Plate II.) has been drawn by Mr. Smit 
from the mounted specimen in the British Museum, obtained by Captain 
Swayne on the Haud plateau of Somaliland. 
The woodcut (fig. 3, p. 24) gives a front view of the first skull and horns 
received from Captain Swayne, upon which Sclater based the species. This 
specimen is now likewise in the National Collection. 
* These variations in curvature are probably mainly due to differences in age, the growth of the 
curved basal part of the horns giving at the various stages widely different directions to their 
tips._S. & T.
