The book of antelopes, vol. 1 (of 4)

Note 11 — Subfamily II. CEPHALOPHINÆ.

Reading edition

An animal to which the following names refer has been described as a member of this genus:—

Antilope (Cephalophus) quadriscopa, H. Sm. Griff. An. K. iv. p. 261, fig. (♂), v. p. 345(1827).

Quadriscopa smithii, Fitz. SB. Wien, lix. pt. 1, p. 167 (1869).

Hab. Senegal.

The figure, however, shows a species more like a Gazelle than a Duiker, although some of its characters seem rather Cephalophine. Whatever it may have been it has never been rediscovered, nor is its description sufficient for us to assign it to its proper place in the group.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
