resemblance to both ; not only in the form of 
the body, but even in the horns : which are 
annuiated towards the base ; furrowed longi- 
tudinally, like those of the Gazelle ; and, at 
the same time, dire(3:ed horizontally backward, 
and very short, like those of the Small African 
Goat. Besides, this animal being much smaller 
than the Goats, Gazelles, &c. and having 'very 
short horns, seem.s to constitute the shade be- 
tween the Goats, and the Chevrotains or Small 
Antelopes. In the species of the Grimm, the 
males alone appear to have horns : for the in- 
dividual described and engraved by Dr. Grimm, 
had no horns ; and the head given us by M. 
Adanson had two short horns, nearly con- 
cealed among the hair, though still sufficiently 
apparent to be seen by the draughtsman. Be- 
-sides, in the history of the Chevrotains, or 
Small Antelopes, we find that, in the Royal, 
or Guinea Antelope, the male alone hks horns: 
which makes it probable, that the case is the 
same w^ith the Grimm species ; which is more 
allied to the Small Antelopes, than to any other 
animal.'*
