likely to have been based on an example of the present species. But we 
have already on more than one occasion alluded to the untrustworthiness of 
Dr. Rochebrune’s work, and think it hardly worth while to discuss the subject 
further. | 
The Harnessed Antelope is frequently brought alive to Europe from the 
ports on the West Coast of Africa and does nicely in captivity. It was well 
represented in the great Knowsley Menagerie, where it frequently bred. In 
May 1845, as we learn from the ‘Gleanings,’ there was at Knowsley a herd 
of two males and four females, of which three were then expected to produce 
young. Both sexes were figured by Waterhouse Hawkins on the 28th plate 
of that work. Several specimens of it were sold at the dispersal of the 
Knowsley Menagerie in 1851. 
The Zoological Society of London has exhibited specimens of this handsome 
Antelope ever since its gardens were instituted, but it does not appear to 
have bred there. Dr. Percy Rendall, F.Z.8., brought home a fine male from 
the Gambia in 1890, and in the following year a pair was presented to the 
Society by Sir R. B. Llewelyn, K.C.M.G., the Governor of that Colony. In 
Mr. Smit’s illustration of this species (Plate LXXXIX.) the figures of the 
male and female were taken from the Zoological Society’s specimens ; the 
young one in the front was drawn from a specimen from Fantee, in the 
British Museum.
