Colonel H. Smith has figured a pair of horns which were in Mr. 
Brookes’s Museum under the name of C. Broohesii (t. 201. f. 1). 
He thinks it is also probable that Bos Pegaseus (H. Smith, G. A. K. 
t. 204, from a drawing of Prince Maurice’s) is a species of this genus 
(H. Smith, Jard. Nat. Lib.). 
5. The Bovine Antelopes have the nose moderately broad, with 
a moderate or small, bald, moist muffle ; the grinders are rather small, 
without supplemental lobes, the central cutting-teeth enlarged at the 
end. 
29. Boselaphus ; Bubalis , Licht., Ogilby; Acronotus , H. Smith; 
Bubalus, A. Smith ; Alcelaphus , Blainv.; Buselaphus, Ray. 
Horns lyrate, end suddenly curved at a nearly right angle, thick 
at base, on the upper edge of the frontal bones; nose moderately 
broad, cervine ; muffle moderate, bald, moist; tear-bag covered with 
a tuft of hair. Females : teats two.

Inhabits N. Africa. Brit. Mus. 
Var. 1. Uniform pale brown; with a dark brown streak down the 
outer side of the front of the fore-legs, like the streak on the leg of 
the Lecama or Harte beest from South Africa, which is not generally 
found in this species. This skin, without a head or hoofs, was brought 
by Mr. Frazer to the British Museum, from Tunis ; it probably indi¬ 
cates a third species, or perhaps this streak is only marked in the 
very adult or fully-coloured specimens. 
2. Boselaphus Caama. The Lecama or Harte beest. 
Grey brown; dorsal line, streak on face, outer side of limbs black ; 
large triangular spot on the haunches whitish.
