242 BARBARY ANTELOPE., AND REVEL. 
In the cabinet of the Marquis de Marigny, in 
the Museum that was lately sir Ashton Lever's, 
and in Mr. Pennant's cabinet of natural curiosities, 
there are several horns which appear to have be- 
longed to a third variety of this species. They are 
of a spiral form, but smooth and black. Two are 
joined in a parallel direction, with the points 
turned different ways ; and we learn, that, joined 
in this manner, these horns are carried by the 
Fakirs and Santons in India, as a sort of a weapon,

imperfectly acquainted.

a foot in length, first reclining backwards, then 
bending in the middle, and reverting forwards, an- 
nul ated with about thirteen rings, of which those 
nearest the base encircle the whole horns, hut 
those approaching to the point are only half rings, 
and also furrowed longitudinally. In size and 
figure these animals nearly resemble the roe buck. 
The colour of the upper part of the body is a red- 
dish-brown ; the buttocks and the lower parts are 
white : a strong dusky line divides the brown from 
the white. Each knee is furnished with a tuft 
of hair. The tail is black above, and white 
beneath. 
This species is gregarious. In Barbary, Egypt, 
Arabia, and Syria, they are seen in numerous herds, 
Keyel. 
Its horns are, like those of the last species, 
marked with rings, from fourteen to eighteen in 
number ; but instead of being round, they are
