THE LECffE AND POKES ANTILOPES DISCOVEPvED BY LIVIXGSTOKB. 
■^Genus CEPHALOPUS : Cephalopiis. — Of this tliere are several species. The Chousingha, 
T. quadricornis, belongs to a group of antilopes which have four horns, and hence are arranged 
by some naturalists, as a genus, under the name of TetraceriLS. The Chousiiigha is two feet nine 
inches long, and one foot nine inches high. The general color is bright ba)^ above, and silvery 
white beneath. The two superior or common horns are three inches long, smooth, black, erect, 
and divergent; the addition^il pair are blunt, stumpy, and three-fourths of an inch high. This 
species is monogamous, and lives in pairs in the forests and thick jangles; it is common in all 
the wooded districts of India, and is particularly abundant in Bengal, Bahor, and Orissa. 
The Chikaba, T. tragojjs, is found in the same regions as the preceding. Like that it has four 
horns, and is a wild and active species, only capable of being tamed by being taken young. It 
is supposed that the Four-horned Oryx of ^Elian referred to this species. 
The Rusty-Red Chousingha, T. lodes, is an Indian species, described by Hodgson. 
The Full-Horned' Chousingha, T. paccervis, is another Indian species. 
The JuNGLiBURKA, T. subquadricornutus, is distinguished by its front pair of horns being rudi- 
mentary and tubercular. It is a native of Bombay. 
The Stein-Boc, Antilope trar/ulus, is one of the most graceful and elegant of the antilope tribe. 
shall find them nine feet only. The koodoo dr tolo seemed smaller, too, than those we had been accustomed to see. 
We saw specimens of the kuabaoba, "or straight-horned rhinoceros, Ji. Osivellii, which is a variety of the white, R. 
si-rmLS, and we found that, from the horn being projected downward, it did not obstruct the line of \'ision, so that this 
species is able to be much more wary than its neighbors. 
" We discovered an entirely new species of antilope, called Leche or Zeclmi. It is a beautiful water-antilope, of a 
light brownish-yellow color. " Its horus— exactly like those of the Algoceros eUipsifrymmxs, the Avater-buck or tumogo 
of the Bechuanas— rise from the head with a slight bend backward, then curve forward at the points. The chest, 
belly, and orbits are nearly white, the front of the legs and ankles deep brown. From the boras, along the nape to 
the withers, the male has a small mane of the same yellowish color with the rest of the skin, and the tail has a tuft 
of black hair. It is never found a mile from water ; islets in marshes and rivers are its favorite haunts, and it is 
quite unknown except in the central humid basin of Africa. Having a good deal of curiosity, it presents a noble ap- 
pearance as it stands gazing, with head erect, at an approaching stranger."
