The WHITE-FOOTED ANTELOPE.
The great variety of Antelopes, and the material difference between this and the one before given, induced us to preſent our readers with this drawing of the White-Footed Antelope. In our former account we remarked the almoſt innumerable varieties of this tribe, with marks eſſentially different, yet partaking of the ſame general character and properties.
The Antelope now before us, is marked by four white feet; the general appearance alſo varies conſiderably; the colour is a dark or blackiſh brown; on the cheeks are two white ſpots, and on the neck there is a tuft of black hair.
Its ſtrength and activity were very great; much pains and labour were beſtowed before it could be brought to be the leaſt ſubmiſſive or familiar; its height was equal to that of a common galloway, or ſmall horſe; the hoofs were long, and divided far up.
Having before preſented our readers with the leading features and principal characteriſtics of the Gazell or Antelope tribe, we beg to refer to a compariſon of the two drawings, for the more minute variations of theſe two animals of the ſame ſpecies.
