and tapering to a point, their colour black. Those of a very old male 

 were 4f inches in lenglh and had 3 strong wrinkles, and one imperfect 

 one at the base. Plate iv. fig. 2 



The dimensions of a young adult male were : 



Height at the shoulder, 2 feet 1£ inch; croup 2 feet, 3 inches, 

 length from the muzzle to the insertion of the tail, 3 feet, 6 inches; of tail 

 5 inches ; ear 4| ; horn 4 ; from the muzzle to the base of the horn, 6 ; 

 of head 8 ; leg I ; foot 5 inches. Weight 43-lbs. 



But I have found them even heavier. The doe is about the same 

 size and has no horns, nor any bony projection above the eyes. The 

 mammae are four in number. The colour is brown, of various shades, not 

 bright, but sometimes so light as to approach a dull fawn, darker than 

 the Cervicapra, but not so bright and deep as in the gazelle. The 

 shade is browner on the hind quarters, and darkest on the middle of 

 the back. It becomes lighter on the sides till it passes gradually into 

 white in the middle of the belly, without the well defined dark line of 

 separation, observable in the other two species. The forelegs, parti- 

 cularly above the knee, the inside of the fetlocks, the nose and edge of 

 the ears, are very dark. A narrow line between the fore-legs which 

 gradually widens towards the hinder flanks, the inside of the arms and 

 thighs, are white as is the inside of the ear, in which the hairs are long, 

 and arranged in indistinct ridges. The lachrymatory sinus is long, 

 narrow and parallel with the line of the nose. 



In its habits, it is monogamous, and is always found in pairs, fre- 

 quenting the jungles among the undulating hills of the Mulnad. ]t is 

 never found in the open country, or among the hills on the eastern 

 side of the district, neither does it ever penetrate into the western fo- 

 rests. The droppings are always observed in heaps in particular spots. 

 It is said to be fond of licking the salt efflorescence of the soil, from 

 which habit the incisors of old individuals are often found to be much 

 worn, and sometimes wanting altogether.

 It is found in the thick low jungles of the Rone and Chudi Pergun-
