Pennant figures the head and horns of this species under the Senegal Antelope, and erroneously refers 
to Buffon's figures of the horns of the Koha as representing the species, which lead to some confusion ; for 
the A. Senegalensis (Cuvier, Diet. Sci. Nat. ii. 235) is an abbreviation, and A. Koha (Erxleben, Syn. 203) 
is a translation, of Pennant's description of this species. Pennant's specimen is said to come from Senegal, 
but he describes the nuchal line and the knees as black, and the figure indicates the dark colour on the 
face of the Cape species.

Inhabits W. Africa ; Gambia River, Macarthy's Island ; called Yonga, Mr. Whitfield. Senegal ? Sen- 
naar. Mus. Stockholm. 
Mr. Whitfield informs me the species is found on Macarthy's Island, on the ^ambia. They afford very 
good venison. They are called Yonga or Yongah by the lolofl^s, and Tan Rong by the Mandingoes. 
In Denham and Clapperton's Travels I regarded this species as the Koba of BufFon, and H. Smith and 
Dr. Sundevall are of the same opinion : but on comparing the six pairs of horns of this species which I 
have been able to examine with Bufl^on's figure and descriptions, I find them all longer and much thicker at 
the base than BufFon describes them ; the thinner (a female ?) being 7 and the others 9 or 9i inches in 
circumference, while that Bufl^on described is only 5 inches. The rings are also more elevated, and reach 
nearer to the top than in Buffon's figure. All the characters lead me to believe that the horns figured as 
those of the Koba by Buffon belong to Damalis Pygarga. 
Colonel Hamilton Smith, in ' Griflfith's Animal Kingdom,' described and figured the heads brought home 
by Messrs. Denham and Clapperton as A. Senegalensis, but they are different from the one so called by 
Cuvier. Mr. Ogilby, in the 'Proceedings of the Zoological Society' (1826, 103), proposed to call these 
heads, A. Corrigum. 
Under the name of Antilope Koba, Schinz (Syn. Mam. ii. 407) combines the A. defassa, Ruppell, Da- 
malis Senegalensis and Antilope adenota, H. Smith, the Koba of Buffon, and the Antilope Koba or Caama of 
Erxleben.
