Vernacutar Name :— Wonto of natives on the Gambia (Gray, fide Whitfield). 
Size decidedly smaller than in the previous species, the height at the 
withers only about 27 or 28 inches. Colour uniform bright fawn generally, 
without darker markings on the limbs; head and body quite alike. Tail 
comparatively short and little bushy, fawn above, white below. 
Horns very thick in proportion to the size of the animal, 5 inches in 
circumference at the base but only about 8 to 10 inches Jong. Their terminal 
portion is strongly turned forwards, a character most marked in rather young 
specimens before the long straight basal part has grown. 
Dimensions of a male skull:—Basal length 8-1 inches, greatest breadth 3°8, 
muzzle to orbit 5. 
Female similar, but hornless. 
Hab. West Africa north of the forest region (Senegal and Gambia). 
The Reedbuck of West Africa was somewhat vaguely described by Buffon, 
in his ‘ Histoire Naturelle,’ from a stuffed specimen in the cabinet of 
Adanson, which had been obtained from the island of Goree on the coast 
of Senegal. Fortunately Buffon added a tolerably recognizable figure of 
the “‘ Nagor,” as he proposed to call it (from its fancied resemblance to the 
““Nanguer,” 1. e. Gazella dama!), and taking this figure into consideration 
along with the locality, we can have little doubt as to its identity. In the 
first essay on the Antelopes, published in his ‘ Miscellanea Zoologica,’ in 
1766, Pallas suggested the name “ Antilope reversa” for Buffon’s “ Nagor”’ ; 
but in his second essay on the same subject, issued in the ‘Spicilegia 
Zoologica’ in 1767, Pallas changed this name, which had been already used 
by Linneus for another animal, to Antilope redunca. There can be no 
doubt, therefore, that redunca is the proper specific name of the present 
* This reference was put down on a previous occasion (Vol. II. p. 23) to Ourebia nigricaudata, 
but on finding that Schinz’s name depended on it, a more careful study of the figure and description 
has been made, and we now consider that Sundevall’s reference of it to the Nagor was probably 
correct.
