Antelopes Neotragvs^ etc., and Dik-diks, Madoqiia, are arranged

buck {Cohns eJUpsiprymnns^ 1218) and the Defassa (^Cohns

appear to have the head and fore-quarters of a bulfalo, with the 
hind-quai’t(‘rs and tail of a pony, are placed in the East 
Corridor. Several species of Hartebeest, such as Bnhcdis caama 
(1246;, 7>. tora (1244), andi>. liclitensteini (1240), are shown in

North America.

{Giraffa) and Okapi (^Okapia) of Africa, of which a magnificent 
series of specimens are shown in the East (lorridor.
