The A. Gnu of Burchell, H. Smith, F. Cuvier and Harris, " and the Kokong of Lichtenstein," has a 
white tail and mane, Burchell and H. Smith have given the name of A. taurina to their specimens, which 
have those parts black. When young they are fulvous, and become black as they reach maturity. The 
specimen of the Kokoon in the Museum of the London Missionary Society (Blomfield Street, Moorfields), 
named by Colonel H. Smith Kokoon {Cat. taurina. Griff. A. K. iv. 369. v. 368), is an adult common Gnu, 
C. Gnu {Var. mane and tail white; Kokong, Licht. Trav. Cape), and his description of Dr. Burchell's spe- 
cimen in the British Museum agrees with the Gnu, in having the ridge of hair on the face. Indeed Dr. 
Burchell (Travels, ii. 278) appears to rest the difference between the Gnu and ^. taurina, in the former 
having a white and the latter a black tail. Dr. Andrew Smith (Illust. Zool. S. A.) has regarded the C. tau- 
rina and C. Gorgon as the same species. Dr. Sundevall, in his Synopsis, has, by mistake, given the name 
of C. taurina to the Gorgon, or Brindled Gnu {C. Gorgon, H. Smith). 
** Nose with smooth hair ; chest not maned. Gorgon. 
* ■ 
The Gorgon. Catoblepas Gorgon (H. Smith). 
Face convex, smooth, covered with hair, lying towards the nose ; chest not maned ; black grey, varied 
and striped. Young : dark grey ; face, gular and nuchal mane and end of tail black. Half- 
grown : blackish ; crown grey.

Inhabits S. Africa. 
Colonel H. Smith has figured a pair of horns which were in Mr. Brookes's Museum under the name of 
C. Brookesii (t. 201. f. 1). He thinks it is also probable that Bos Pegaseus (H. Smith, G. A. K. t. 204, 
from a drawing of Prince Maurice's) is a species of this genus (H. Smith, Jard. Nat. Lib.). 
In the Bovine Antelopes the nose is moderately broad, with a moderate or small, bald, moist muffle ; 
the grinders are rather small, without supplemental lobes, the central cutting-teeth enlarged at the end.

Alcelaphus {Blaim?), Buselaphus {Ray), 
with lyrate horns, end suddenly curved at a nearly right angle, thick at base, on the upper edge of the fron- 
tal bones; nose moderately broad, cervine; muffle moderate, bald, moist; tear-bag covered with a 
tuft of hair. Females : teats two. 
The Bubale. Boselaphus Bubalis. 
Pale brown in early uniform ; rump like back.

Inhabits N. Africa ; Tunis. Calf. Brit. Mus. 
Mr. Frazer brought from Tunis a skin, without a head and hoofs, which appears to belong to this genus : 
it was uniform pale brown ; but there was a dark brown streak down the outer side of the front of the 
fore-legs, like the streak on the leg of the Lecama or Harte beest from South Africa, which is not gene- 
rally found in this species. This skin probably indicates a third species, or perhaps this streak is only 
marked in the very adult or fully-coloured specimens. 
The Lecama or Harte beest. Boselaphus Caatna. 
Grey brown ; dorsal line, streak on face, outer side of limbs black ; large triangular spot on the 
haunches whitish.
