PLATE XXXIIL 
Antilope Saltiana, Blainville, Ruppel, Atlas Zuder Reise 
im Nordliken Afrika, t. 21 — Neotragus Madoka, Major 
Smithy Griffiih'’s Cuvier, 
This beautiful animal was first noticed by M. de 
Blainville, from imperfect specimens brought from 
Abyssinia by the Britisli Consul, Mr Salt, and named 
in honour of that enlightened individual. M. Ed. 
liuppel has, however, since published figures of both 
sexes in his Zoological Atlas of Northern Africa, 
which we have used for our illustrations. The height 
at the shoulder is only about thirteen inches, and the 
whole form of the limbs is of great delicacy. The fore- 
head, where the hair is lengthened back, and outside 
of tbe limbs, are of a reddish-brown ; the outsides of 
the forelegs spotted with whitish. Tlie neck and 
sides are grey, and the lower parts are nearly pure 
white. The male only is possessed of horns, about 
» three inches in length.
