GUINEA ANTELOPE, 
brings this animal still nearer to the Goat-kind ; 
most of which have similar v/arts or excres- 
cences on their throats. The tongue," pro- 
ceeds M. Vosmaer, is rather round, than 
oblong or pointed. The horns are black ; 
finely furrowed from top to bottom, and about 
three inches in length. They are perfe6lly 
straight, and terminate in a very sharp point. 
At the base, they are nearly three-quarters of 
an inch thick ; and they are ornamented with 
three rings, which rise a little backward. The 
hairs on the front are straighter than the others; 
and, at the origin of the horns, they are coarse, 
grey, and crisped. Between the horns, the 
hair is more erefl, and forms a kind of pointed 
black tuft, from which a stripe of the same 
colour descends, and loses itself in the nose. 
The ears are large ; and have, on the outside, 
three cavities or depressions, dire61:ed from top 
to bottom. Internally, and at the summit, the 
ears are garnished with white short hair. The 
, rest of the ears are naked, and black. The 
eyes are pretty large, and of a deep brown 
colour. The hair on the eye-lids is black, 
close, and long ; especially, on the upper eye- 
lid. About the eyes., there are some long 
hairs,
