quadrupeds framed for the reception of the 
genus Antilocapra, containing the so-called 
American antelope. It is characterized by forked 
hollow horns supported upon a long bony core or osseous 
process of the frontal bone, as in the cattle or true hollow- 
horned ruminants, yet deciduous, being periodically shed 
ami renewed like the antlers of deer. These singular 
linrns are composed of agglutinated hairs hardening into 
solid ei>nieous tissue, and when sprouting resemble the 
skin-covered knolis upon the head of the giraffe. There 
air several remarkable osteoloyk-al iieeiiliarities of the 
skull, among them the inclosure of the styloid pmci >~ nf 
Antilopinse

of the logarithm of any sine, tangent, or secant 
up to that of 90 degrees. [Rare^] (6) As com- 
monly used, the number corresponding to any 
logarithm. Thus, according to the common system, 
100 is the antilogarithm of 2, because 2 is the logarithm of 
100 ; it is denoted thus : log. -'2, log. -'a, which may be read : 
"The number to the log. 2," "the number to the log. a." 
antilogarithmic (au-ti-log-a-rith'mik), a. 
Pertaining to antilogarithms. Antilogarithmic 
table, one in which, the logarithm of a number being 
entered as an argument, the number itself is found in the

Gr. avrrf.oyia, contradiction, < avri^oyof, contra-

< avri, against, + Uyuv, speak, say.] Self- 
contradiction; contradiction or inconsistency 
between different statements by the same per- 
son or different parts of the same thing. 
Philosophy was thus again reconciled with nature ; con- 
sciousness was not a bundle of antilogies ; certainty and 
knowledge were not evicted from man. Sir W. Hamilton. 
In these antiloyies and apologies, however, a difference 
might be perceived : and some of the advocates of Henry 
appeared less anxious to attack Rome than to defend 
their prince. R. W. Dimn, Hist. Church of Eng., vi. 
Antilope (an-til'o-pe), n. [NL. : see antelope.] 
1. A genus of Antilmrinte (which see). The term 
has been used with such latitude in its application to the 
whole of the group Antilopinee, and, when restricted, has 
been employed in so many different senses, that it has lost 
whatever exact meaning it may have possessed originally, 
and has become a loose, fluctuating synonym of the sub- 
family name Antilopinte. Even in early usage it appears 
to have been applied to several different small gazel-like 
antelopes. It is now commonly restricted to the sasin or 
Indian antelope, A ntilope cervicapra. See cut under sasin. 
2f (an'ti-lop). [/. c.] Obsolete (English) spell-- 
ing of antelope. 
Antilopidae (an-ti-lop'i-de), n. pi. [NL., < An- 
tilope 4- -idie.] A family of ruminants; the 
antelopes: sometimes used as a synonym of 
Antilopime. Also written Antelopidce. 
Antilopinse (an"ti-lo-pi'ne), n. pi. [NL., < An- 
tilope + -inas.] A subfamily of old-world and 
chiefly African ruminants, the antelopes, a 
group belonging to the family Bovidas. They dif- 
fer from cattle in their smaller size, more lithe and grace- 
ful form, slenderer legs, which are comparatively longer 
in the shank, and longer neck, with slenderer vertebra, 
uplifting the head. The Antilopintr shade directly into 
the sheep and goats (Oviiue and Caprince), being separable 
from them by no technical character ; but the horns usu- 
ally differ from the forms presented by goats and sheep, 
though they are so diverse as to be definable by no com- 
mon character. Antilopince are specially numerous in 
species and individuals in Africa, of which continent they 
are the most characteristic animals. Upward of 60 Afri- 
can species have been described ; there are many others 
in Asia, and a few in Europe. Some 75 species are recog- 
nized by naturalists, but probably the number of genuine 
species is less than this. Several hundred different names, 
generic, specific, nd vernacular, have been applied to 
these animals ; and no authors except mere compilers are 
agreed upon the division of the group. The antelopes 
present the utmost diversity of stature, form, and general 
appearance, ranging from the smallest and most delicate 
gazels, steinboks, and springboks to the bulky eland, nyl- 
ghau, or hartbeest, as large as a cow, horse, or stag, and 
include the singularly misshapen gnu (Connochwtes gnu). 
The Rocky Mountain goat, Haploce.rus montanus, related 
to the Alpine chamois, Rupieapra, tragvs, and the goral, Ne- 
morhedus goral, another goat-like antelope, are also placed 
in this subfamily. The bubaline or bovine antelopes in- 
clude the hartbeest (Alceta-phus caama), blesbok (A, albi- 
from), and bontebok (A. pygargus). Four-horned ante- 
lopes belong to the genus Tetracerox. The philantomba 
and coquetoon Antelopes, the blauwbok, duyker, etc., are 
placed in the genus Cephalophu*. The steinboks are spe- 
cies of Neotrayim; the singsing, kobus, leche, bohor, etc., 
are of the genera Cervicapra, Kobux, and their immediate 
allies. The gazels are a large group, constituting the genus 
Gazella (or Dorcas) and others ; they include the springbok 
(Antidorcase-uchore), and are Indian, Arabian, and Syrian, 
as well as African. The sable or equine antelopes constitute 
the genus Hippotraffus. The addax is Addax naaomacitla- 
tus. There are several species of Oryx, as 0. leucoryx. The 
nylghau is Bwielaphtix tratjocamehtji. The harnessed ante- 
lopes (so called from the stripes on the sides), or the bosch- 
boks, are species of Tragelaphiis, as T. gcriptun, T. syh-ati- 
'">. The koodoo is a large antelope with twisted horns 
(Streptriceros kiidit). The eland is Oreas canna. The so- 
called saiga antelope is the type of a different family. 
Xr/n//</rt! (which see) ; the American antelope also belongs 
to a different family, Antilacapridce (which see). See cuts 
under addax, eland, tjazel. 'inu, and Haplftcems. Also
