long, and the tail about three inches. In disposi- 

 tion and agility it agrees with the Kevel, or Flat- 

 horned Antelop^, of which it has even been sus- 

 pected by Dr. Pallas to be the female. Mr. 

 Adanson, in his account of this species coirmuni- 

 cated to the Count de Buffon, observes, that the 

 wrinkles of the horns, which in this aniuiai supply 

 the place of rings in many others, are about six- 

 teen in number, and are very near each other at 

 the lo^\'er part of the horns, and more distant at the 

 upper. He adds, that the hair is short, and close 

 set, of a yellow colour on the back and flanks, 

 and white on the belly and insides of the thighs ; 

 that the tail is black, and that some individuals 

 are irregularly spotted on the body with white. 

 The Corine, like the Kevel and Gazelle, is found 

 in herds or troops.
