Pennant figures the head and horns of this species under the name 
of Senegal Antelope, and erroneously refers to Buffon’s figures of the 
horns of the Koba as representing the species, which lead to some 
confusion; for the A. Senegalensis (Cuvier, Diet. Sci. Nat. ii. 235) 
is an abbreviation, and A. Koba (Erxleben, Syn. 293) is a translation, 
of Pennant’s description of this species. Pennant’s specimen is said 
to come from Senegal, but he describes the nuchal line and the knees 
as black, and the figure indicates the dark colour on the face of the 
Cape species.
