great variety of Antelopes, and the material difference between this and the one before given, induced us to preent our readers with this drawing of the White-Footed Antelope. In our former account we remarked the almot innumerable varieties of this tribe, with marks eentially different, yet partaking of the ame general character and properties.

The Antelope now before us, is marked by four white feet; the general appearance alo varies coniderably; the colour is a dark or blackih brown; on the cheeks are two white pots, and on the neck there is a tuft of black hair.

Its trength and activity were very great; much pains and labour were betowed before it could be brought to be the leat ubmiive or familiar; its height was equal to that of a common galloway, or mall hore; the hoofs were long, and divided far up.

Having before preented our readers with the leading features and principal characteritics of the Gazell or Antelope tribe, we beg to refer to a comparion of the two drawings, for the more minute variations of thee two animals of the ame pecies.
