STRIPED ANTELOPE. 
dusky colour, and naturally wrinkled, though 
such as are brought to Europe have general- 
ly been highly polished. They are about 
four feet long ; and very close at their bases, 
but above two feet and a half distant at their 
points ; and have two spiral screw-like turns. 
The female has no horns. In the upper jaw 
is a hard horny substance, disposed in ridges. 
The face is brown, marked with two white lines 
proceeding from the corner of each eye, and 
uniting above the nose. The colour in gene- 
ral is of a reddish cast, mixed with grey. 
From the tail, along the top of the back, to the 
shoulders, is a white stripe: from this are 
seven others ; four pointing towards the thighs, 
and three towards the belly. " But," says 
Pennant, " I have observed them to vary in 
number of stripes." Indeed, in his own fi- 
gure, which we have copied, there are no less 
than ten of these stripes. On the upper part 
of the neck is a short mane : beneath the neck, 
from the throat to the breast, arc some long 
hairs hanging down. The breast, and belly, are 
grey. The tail wdiich is two feet long, is 
brown above, white beneath, and black at the 
end.
