RUMINATING ANIMALS. 
who is here also the groundwork of the portion de- 
voted to the Ruminants, is followed nearly in his ar- 
rangement, with the exception that the Camels are 
placed as the ruminating form among the Solipedes, 
but of course in either position forming the passage 
between the two, and standing between the Ca- 
tneleopards and the Horse. Mr Swainson makes 
the Bovidse or Oxen typical, and names the other 
families Antelopes, Stags, Musks, Giraffes.*" He 
also considers these animals as represented by the 
Rasores among birds, a position^jwhich has always 
appeared to us to be incontestible, but which is dis- 
puted by Mr MacLeay, who, if we recollect rightly, 
considers the Ruminantiaand Grallatores or Waders 
as representing each other. 
The animal we commence with will illustrate the 
Tragelaphine group of Major Smith ; and, while it 
retains the elegance of the antelopine form, the horns 
will be seen to begin to assume an angular and com- 
piessed chat actor; — on our Plate is represented 
• At the conclusion of this volume we have given a table, 
the arrangement proposed by Mr Swainson.
