AFRICA. 125 
delicate grey, darker upbn the back than the 
fides, and its belly was white : it wa«. not ab- 
folutely reddifli, nor were its horns more than 
five or fix inches in length, Dodor Spar- 
mann, who fays he defcribes them only 
from memory, muft have been deceived, when 
he gives them a foot in length. The defcrip- 
tion and figure of this antelope will be found 
in my A^ccount of the Quadrupedes of Africa. 
In returning to my people, we fl:opped a little 
time, to eat a few fl:eaks from the animal I 
had killed ; and, in the fpace of four leagues, 
which we travelled, in order to find a conve- 
nient fpot for encamping, we faw near us, on 
all fides, flocks of antelopes, bontebocks% 
and bubalesf, together with fome zebras, 
&c. &c. and feveral oftriches. The variety 
and gait of thefe large flocks were very amuf- 
ing, and worthy of engaging the attention of a 
naturalift. My dogs purfued with great keen- 
nefs all thefe different fpecies, which crofled 
each other as they fled, and fometimes found 
themfelves all promifcuoufly coUeded into 
one body, according as the dogs attacked
