Antehjie, 
During Captain Allen’s excursion up the Cameroons River lie 
procured tlie horns of a magnificent antelope, which Mr. Ogilby 
(in Proc. Zool. Soc., June, 1848,) believed to have been taken 
from A. Eurycems. Mr. Mitchell, Secretary to the Society, 
thinks, however, it may be an entirely new, and hitherto unde- 
ecribed species; in which opinion he is joined by Mr. Water- 
house. In the absence of further detail, we have not added the 
specific name.
