Note 1 — Subfamily V. ANTILOPINÆ.

This species, although mentioned last in Pallas’s List, may be taken as the type of the genus, because the term “Antilope” is clearly based on Ray’s and Buffon’s name for the Black-buck (The Antelope; l’Antilope), quoted and identified by Pallas, and only used up to this date for this particular species. The ordinary justification for the same course, based on de Blainville’s revision of 1816, is, as in so many other cases, invalidated by the earlier work of Lichtenstein, by whom the Black-buck was placed among the “Gazellæ,” and not among the “Antilopæ genuinæ.”
