Similar in all respects to O. scoparia, except that the auricular gland is 
considerably larger and more conspicuous, and the tail is slenderer, less 
tufted, and is more or less white along its edges below. 
Skull and horns apparently quite as in O. scoparia. 
Hab. Mozambique and Nyasaland. 
When the late Dr. William Peters made his great expedition to the 
Portuguese colony of Mozambique from 1842 to 1848 the Zoology of the 
Eastern Coast of Africa was almost unknown to us. Many, therefore, were 
the discoveries made by that distinguished traveller and naturalist, and 
subsequently described in his ‘ Naturwissenschaftliche Reise nach Mossam- 
bique. Amongst them, in the volume devoted to the Mammals of the 
Expedition, we find a figure and description of the present Antelope, which 
was met with by Peters on the bush-clad plains of Sena and Shupanga,
