THE GRYSBACK, &.C. 
Of the next animals, Major Smith makes another 
section, “ The Tragulinn group,” and describes four 
species, of none of wiiichwe have been able to obtain 
any figure. The animals are all'small, stand high upon 
tlieir legs, and nearly want the fail, and the horns are 
short, round, and simple. The Grysback, Tragulut 
grisca, Smith, is one of the most frequent, but like 
many others of the. African antelopes, the colonial 
name is often applied to several of the allietl species. 
It is about nineteen inches high at the shoulder, and 
is generally of a chestnut-red, paler on the under 
parts of the body. It inhabits the mountains, and is 
very swift and vigilant. The Bleekbock, T. pallida, 
is another, but considered by some as only a pale 
coloured variety of the last. Major Smith is of a 
different opinion, considering the form somewhat 
different ; and it varies also, as inhabiting the plains 
covered with bushes. 
Another animal has been named and characterised 
as a subgenua, from the horns alone, specimens of 
which are in the Museum of the Royal College of 
Surgeons, London. They were brought from India, 
and Major Smith considers them so distinct, as to 
leave little doubt of the animal to which they belong 
being different from any of those forming his “ Tra- 
galine Group.” He has named it Raphicerus su- 
Indata, or Awl-Hortied Antelope, distinct from the 
U. aculicornii, which was previously described from 
specimens in the same collection. 
Our next group presents a very remarkable con-
