HAS TWO PAIRS OF HORNS
choui<a ~ India, Small Antelope Gifted
With More Than lts Share Of
Head Ornaments.

-Four or six-horned animals are found
In certain parts Of Asia. Principal
among these Ii the four-horned chouka,
a small antelope of India, its name be-
Ing derived from the native word
chouk, meaning q leap.
Its front pair Of horns are short
and placed just above the eyes, while
the larger ones are in the usual posi-
ton higher on the head. The length
Of the upper horn Is about three or
four inches, though the lower ones
rarely exceed one inch, and no
special use for them has ever been dis
covered by naturalists.
The chouka u q beautiful little
creature with Its bright bay back con-
trasted with the gray-white Of the
under part, beneath which are the
1.-THE legs that enable It to make the
high bounds for which It IL noted. An
adult chouka rarely exceeds 20 inches
In height at the shoulders.
In their Wild state all sheep were
furnished with q pair Of horns, but
the number never exceeded two until
some curious specimens were discov-
cred In some isolated sections Of Asia.
These specimens had from four to six
horns, the upper set being graduated
with the smallest ones Just above the
eyes.
Curiously enough. the two lower sets
always curve upward, while the large
pair curve downward.-Asia Magazine
