WHITE-FOOTED AXTELOPE. 
Antelope runs along in one uninterrupted 
course. It's lightness and elasticity strike 
the beholder with astonishment ; and, what is 
very singular, it will stop in the midst of 
■ it's course, for a moment gaze at it's pur- 
suers, and then resume it's flight. 
Most species of the Antelope are brown on 
the backj and white under the belly ; having 
a black stripe, which separates those colours. 
The tail, which is of various lengths, is al- 
ways seen covered with longish hair ; and the 
cars, Wiiich are beautiful in themselves, and 
pleasingly situated, terminate in a point. 
The liojf is cloven, like that of the sheep ; 
and the horns of tire female are considerably 
{^mailer than those of the male. 
On comparing together the difFerenr species 
of the Antelope, their variations are very in- 
considerable. The turn or magnitude of the 
horns; the different spots in the skin; or the 
diversities of their size ; consritute the chief 
marks bv which the several species are distin- 
guished: for, their mode of hving, habits, and 
prodigious swiftness, fall under one general 
description. borne
