[For etym. see ANTELOPE.] A genus of ruminating animals belonging to the family Bovidae. They have more or le cylindrical horns, often annulated, and, in some cases, sub-orbital sinuses and inguinal pores. Linnæus placed the few species known to him partly under his genus Capra (Goats), and partly under Cervus (Stags), and they have a certain affinity with both those genera of animals. They make an approach also to oxen and sheep. The size of the genus has caused it to be broken up into numerous sec- tions or sub-genera. Col. Hamilton Smith has Dieranocerine, Aigocerine, Orygine, Gazelline, Antilopine, Reduncine, Oreotragine, Tragu- line, Raphicerine, Tet race rine, Cephalophine, Neotragine, Tragelaphine, Næmorhædine, Rupicaprine, Alpocerine, and Anoine groups of Antelopes-seventeen in all. (Griffith's Cuvier, iv., 162 to 294. In vol. v., 322 to 355, the Oreotragine group being suppre ed, the remaining sixteen become sub-genera Dicrano- cerus, Aigocerus, Oryx, Gazella, .) Some, again, have made Antilope not a genus, but a sub-family Anti lop inæ, or even a family Anti- lopidæ or Antelopidæ, and have elevated the sections or sub-genera into genera quite dis- tinct from each other. The great metropolis of the extended genus Antilope is Southern Africa. Of sixty-nine species recorded by Profe or Wagner, twenty-five occur in that locality, and twenty-nine in other parts of Africa, making fifty-four from the whole of that continent. Among the species found in Southern Africa are the Ourebi or Oribi ( A. scoparia , Schreber); the Steenbok ( A. tragulus , Lich ten stein); the Klippspringer ( A. oreotra- gus, Forster; Oreotragus saltatrix , Smith); the Koodoo ( A. streps i ceros, Pallas; Streps i ceros koodoo , Smith); the Boschbok (A. sylvatic a , Sparrmann); the Rheebok ( A. capreolus , Licht.); the Duikerbok ( A. mergens, Blain- ville); the Kleenbok ( A. perp us ill a , Smith); the Springbok ( A. euchore, Forster); the Ble bok ( A. pygarg a , Pallas); the Gemsbok (A. oryx , Pallas); the Blaubok ( A. leucophea , Pallas); the Canna, the so-called Eland = Elk of the Cape Dutch ( A. oreas , Pallas); the Caama or Hartebeest ( A. caama , Cuv.); the Gnu or Gnoo ( A. gnu , Gmelin; Catoblepas gau , Smith); the Brindled Gnu ( A. gorgon , Smith). Pringle alludes to several of these species, but "the gazelle" of which he speaks is not that of North-Eastern Africa. Where the gnu, the gazelle, and the hartebeest graze, And the gemsbok and eland unhunted recline By the skirts of grey forests d'erhung with wild vine." Pringle : Atar in the Desert. Among the antelopes from other parts of Africa may be mentioned the Madoqua ( A. Salt i an a , Blainville), a dwarf species from Aby in i a; the Gazelle (A. dorcas, Pallas), ( Gazella dorcas ), from Egypt and Barbary: the Addax ( A. addax , Lich ten stein; Oryz αλλας, Smith), widely spread; the Abu-harte ( A. leucoryx , Pallas) [UNICORN), in Senaar and Kordofan; the Bekr-el-Wash (A. bubal us , 244 Pallas), from Barbary; and the Bush Antelope (A. silvicultriz , Afzelius Cephalophus sylvi cultriz , Smith), from Sierra Leone. Next to Africa, Asia, including the Eastern Archipelago, is the most important habitat of the genus. The Sasin or Common Antelope of India is A. cervicapra , Pallas;; and in the same country the Nylghau ( A. picta , Pallas; Portaz "Let anti- masks not be long; they have been commonly of fools, satyrs, baboons, wild men, antics, beasts, spirits, witches, hes, ethiopes, pigimies, turquets, nymphs, rustics, cupids, statues, moving and the like, As for angels, it is not comical enough to put them in anti-masks " -Bacon : E ays, Civ. and Mor., ch. xxxvii. "On the scene he thrusts out first an anti -masque of bugbears."-Milton: Ans. to Eik . Bas ., IX. Blainville; Tet racer us chickara , Leach), . Other species are in Western Asia, Thibet, Sumatra, but none appear to exist in Australia or Madagascar. In Europe there is a typical one-the Saiga ( A. col us , Smith), found in Roumania, Poland, and Ru ia, and one of a more aberrant character, with affinities to the goats-the Chamois (A. rupicapra , Pallas; Rupicapra vulgar is , Smith), in the Alps, Pyrenees, Car path i ans, and the mountains of Greece. The New World has only two undisputed species-the Rocky Mountain sheep or goat ( Haplocerus laniger ), a true antelope; and the Prongbuck, called goat by the fur-traders. It is Antilope or Dicranus furcifer (Smith), and is found in the western part of North America. now Some of the above species of antelope have other designations than those given. The Springbok is now frequently called Gazella euchore; the Ble bok, Gazella albifrons; the Blaubok (blue antelope), Gazella leucophœa ; the Eland, Boselaphus oreas or Oreas canna; the Brindled Gnu (bastard wild beast), Catoblepas gorgon ; the Addax, Addax nasoma culata ; the Chickara, Tet racer us quadric ornis ; the Saiga, Colus saiga or Anti loc apr a saiga ; and the Chamois, Rupicapra tragus .
