This species is about half the size of a fallow 

 deer : its colour is reddish brown above, and white 

 beneath ; the two colours being separated by a 

 dark or blackish lateral line or stripe : on each 

 knee is a tuft of blackish hair : the horns are 

 twelve inches long, of a round or cylindric form, 

 and incline first backwards, then bend in the 

 middle, and lastly, revert forwards at their tips : 

 they are of a black colour, and are annulated 

 with about thirteen rings on the lower part. This 

 animal is supposed to be the Dorcas of JElian, lib. 

 14. c. 14. It is a native of Barbary, Egypt, and 

 the Levant, and is said to be found in large flocks.
