have the appearance of harnessing. The thighs 
are marked with white spots. The cheeks and the 
under part of the neck are white. 
This animal is very common in Senegal. It is 
gregarious. Large herds of harnessed antelopes 
are seen spread through the plains and woods of 
the country of Podor. It inhabits the south of 
Africa,, in Zwellendam and the adjoining districts 
near the Cape ; but appears not farther east than 
Zwellendam, in those regions, til! you reach the 
country of the Tambuki. The flesh of the har- 
nessed antelope is not tender or delicate. 
Guinea antelope. 
This animal is of a more diminutive size than 
most of those antelopes we have hitherto been 
describing. It is about eighteen inches high ; 
with slender legs ; a considerable length of neck ; 
rather a sharp snout ; its forehead somewhat pro- 
minent ; large ears ; dusky eyes, and under each 
a cavity into which a strong-scented oily fluid is 
constantly secreted, and there becomes concrete ; 
its horns not three inches long, slightly annul ated 
at the base, and tapering gradually till they ter- 
minate, each in a sharp point ; and between the 
horns a tuft of black hairs, which serves as one of 
the most striking characteristics of the animal. 
The females are destitute of horns. The belly of 
this elegant animal is white ; its tail, which is 
short, white beneath, and black above ; the rest 
©f the body of a yellowish brown colour.
