Text Appearing Before Image:
Accessory hoofs present. Glands in allthe feet and in the groin. Skull with deep pits between the orbits, very small or no lachrymalvacuities, and large anteorbital fossse. Molars tall and narrow. Horns long, placed close together, widely divergent, cylindrical, spirallytwisted, closely ringed throughout. Female normally hornless. Bange of the Genus. Peninsula of India.One species only is known. * This species, although mentioned last in Pallass List, may be taken as the type of the genus,because the term Antilope is clearly based on Rays and Buffons name for the Black-buck(The Antelope ; VAntilope), quoted and identified by Pallas, and only used up to this date for thisparticular species. The ordinary justification for the same course, based on de Blainvilles revisionof 1816, is, as in so many other cases, invalidated by the earlier work of Lichtenstein, by whomthe Black-buck was placed among the Gazellce, and not among the Antilopce genuince.
