Inhabits S. Africa ; Cape of Good Hope {Sparmanii). 
This Antelope has much the character of the Oxen, and Dr. Burchell informs me that it is the best 
food of any of the genus at the Cape, being the only one which is moist and has any fat intermixed with 
the muscle ; the flesh of the others is dry and hard. At Knowsley it breeds with the facility of domestic 
cattle, but they are ravenous feeders, and appear liable to an epidemic. 
It should be remarked that the skin of the specimen shot by Burke at the Cape (the female especially) 
shows several pale whitish cross-bands on the hinder half of the body, similar to the streaks on the Koodoo, 
showing the affinity of this animal to that species ; but I could not observe these bands in the living speci- 
mens at Knowsley Park. 
The GiNG-E-JoNGA. Oreas Derhianus. 
Pale reddish-brown ; front of the face, the neck, the front part of the under side, a spot on the front 
and hinder side of the upper part of the fore leg, the dorsal streak, dark black ; the belly, the 
front and back edge of the upper part of the legs and under side of tail whitish ; a broad half- 
collar in front of the shoulder, narrowed above; fourteen or fifteen narrow, vfaved, perpendicular 
streaks on each side of the body white ; withers with intermixed black hairs ; female throat 
dark brown ; crown reddish brown. 
Boselaphus Derhianus, Gray, Ann. and Mag. N. Hist. xx. 286. — Silliman's Amer. Journ. v. 279. 
Inhabits W. Africa. 
Mr. Whitfield brought from Gambia two pairs of very large horns of the male of this species, and a 
single horn of a younger male. He has since brought two skins without heads, a male and a female, which 
are now in the British Museum. They are rather larger than the Impoofo of the Cape. 
They are found on the River Casaman and some of the creeks at the back of the Gambia, and are called 
Ging-e-jonga. 
** The nose bovine, with a large coriaceous moist muffie, and a narrow laid space on the upper lip. The animals have 
very slender, elegant legs ; small hoofs and false hoofs ; conical, suhangular horns ; ivith an ollique, indistinct heel. 
3. TRAGELAPHUS, Antilope (Tragelaphus), {Blaim., H. Smith'), 
with conical, suhangular horns ; tear-bag distinct ; nape and back with a more or less distinct mane : 
they are brown ; with spots on haunches, crescent on chest, and inside of legs white, and a dark 
dorsal stripe. 
* Face with a curved hand between the eyes ; horns large ; hack cross-handed. Euryceros.

Head pale brown ; broad band before the eyes, and two large spots on cheeks, chin and front of 
upper lip white ; horns elongate, thick, scarcely bent forward at the tip ; throat with long black 
hairs.
