So great is the similitude between this species 

 and the Flat-horned Antelope, that tlie chief dif- 

 ference appears to consist in size ; this being 

 larger than a fallow deer. The horns resemble 

 those of the animal before mentioned, and are 

 sixteen inches long, and about five between tip 

 and tip : they are very strongly annulated in the 

 male, but said to be nearly smooth in the female: 

 the face is white ; the cheeks and neck, in the 

 living animal, of a bright bay ; the back and up- 

 per parts of a ferruginous brown ; \vith a dark 

 stripe down the back : the belly and rump white, 

 as is also, in the Leverian specimen, the lower half 

 of the legs : the sides of the body are marked, as 

 in many others of this genus, with a dark or 

 blackish stripe : the tail is about seven inches 

 long, covered Avith black hairs, which extend 

 some inches beyond the end. The figure of the
