WHITE-FOOTED ANTELOPE. 
into England ; and, notwithstanding the pro- 
digious difference of climate, ha ve been known 
to breed and thrive surprisingly. 
In the days of Aurengzebe, they abounded 
between Delhi and Lalior, on the way to Ca- 
chemire ; and they were called Nyl-ghau, or 
' Blue or Grey Bulls. According to Bernier, 
that warlike prince, when on a journey, in- 
closed them by his army of hunters within 
nets ; which, being gradually drawn closer 
and closer, the king, with his omrahs or no- 
bles, and other hunters, entered the circle, and 
dispatched them with arrows, spears, or fire- 
arms. This, indeed, is still a very common 
way of destroying wild beasts, in many ori- 
ental countries. 
The White-Footed Antelopes, when habi- 
tuated to a domestic life, are in general ex- 
tremely docile, and express a peculiar affe61:ion 
for those who feed them ; licking their hands, 
and expressively signifying their gratitude. 
They will eat oats;' but prefer grass and hay, 
and are particularly fond of bread. When 
thirsty, they will drink tvvo gallons at a time.
