The other species if found to be distinct, will stand 
as T. quadricornes. 
The next group, The Ceplmlophine Group” of 
Major Smith, extend over southern Africa. They 
still contain animals of inconsiderable size, though 
some are large, and frequent bushes and low covers. 
They possess a curious manner of standing upon their 
hind legs to look out for danger (a habit we find in thy 
hare and some of the Rodentia), and of even leaping 
into the air to overlook the surrounding vegetation. 
The horns are short and small, and they are all dis- 
tinguished by a tuft of hair rising from the forehead, 
and by a pouch or sack opening between the orbits 
and the nostrils.
