Abstract
THE Tragelaphine Antelopes hold a unique position amongst the hollow-horned ruminants. No other group can show species so sharply contrasted in size and build as the massive eland rising over sixty inches at the withers, and the dainty little bush-buck which falls short of half that height. Only the Indian black buck amongst the gazelles can match the nylghaie and nyala for diversity of sexual colouring; and for elegance of form, coupled with beauty of marking and grandeur of carriage, the kudu is surpassed by no species of mammal.
