The horns, which are always present in the male and usually in the females, are round, without sharp edges, and though compressed are usually annujated, while those of the goat and elsewhere. The horns of oar prongbuck aro apt to vary much with ago, tliu protuberance iu front being often wanting iu the y011114, which wouM argue to ao.no extent the annual shedding of thu shoith. The eyes are bright and prominent, enabling it well to see its pursuers during (light oud to keep a good lookout before. In the adult, it 111 ike.* 110 atte npt at on* cealmont and fro 11 iti oaeaiy it expects nothing but a knowledge of hid approach. The color of the pronghorn is generally a tawny brown, shading off ba* low and backward into a light fawn color. Beneath it is white. While this would argue a certain amount of color-protestior when lying down, the two traus* j verse white bars across the breast, and 1 the conspicuous whito disk around the > tail argue that on approach or (light 110 attempt at concealment is intended. I The rear mark is claimed by Mr. Wallace, ' the great English naturalist, as an example of a guiding mark specialized for the purpose of enabling the young and weak 1 to follow better in (light, but he leaves the purpose ut the breast ban unexplained. In keeping with the theory, they may belter enable the llook to reassemble, or tiie young to run to tho mother as she returns to its hiding place, tor, like other ruminants, she often hides her young while she feeds. To a naturalist the marks would at once imply that the animal was a night feeder, or at least crepuscular?a fact borne out by actual knowledge.

The hair, resembliug coarse rotted mauila strands, is hollow like feathers, 1 and crushes into fragments readily he- < tween the lingers. They stand out on 1 end like bristles in a brush, varying in length from one inch on tiio soles to four to six inches on the neck, where thoy form a sort of mine, erected duriug anger or excite nent. The antelope is about exterminated from the plains east of the Knotty .Mountains now, whore it recently range 1 from Central America to about latitude tiftythree degrees north. It migrates slightly north and south with the seasons. It was no uncommon thing as 1 ite at \S > to '8d to see small herds 0 -ciog fro a lae trains as they crossed the plums, and very fair long-range hunting could he had then. liut now one must go higher up into the less frequented mountain 4iarus1 ami cv.u? mo#*? efiev ar? getting raTcc. "From October to December is t'ue season, with perhaps November as the favorite. Of course one rakes u wagou or packs, but fair saddle hhr.sos are a necessity, for the game is often found in rather inaccessible pluccs. The cool nights will require all needful comforts for camping. While a sneaking stalk is the usual method of hunting, antelope have becu killed oa the plaius by direct chase aiul a pistol shot, as Washington Irving kille I his buitulo, but :m unusual horse, of course, is required for this. For the distance of tiirce or four miles, perhaps, no ll ;otei animal runs than our proughoro, but if pushed to its utmost within this limit it soon shows sigus of fagging. Coursing it down on the plains with greyhounds was once a favorite form of capture. The best means of approach (necessary iu any form of huMft^ concealment in A good lieldglass is a greit help. By notiug at long range the direction they are feeding, they maybe iutercepte 1 as they pass if the ground bo favorable, but their senses are all so acute that every precaution must be taken.
