The first representative of this group is Salts antelope (Neotragns salttanus)--the Beni Israel or Om-dig-dig of the Arabs of the Red Sea littoral--which is extremely abundant in these regions and the warmer parts of Abyssinia, occasionally ranging up to considerable elevations in the mountains, and inhabiting jungles in pairs or as single individuals. It ranges as far eastward as the Somali coast. This species is one of the smallest of the antelopes, only slightly exceeding the undermentioned royal antelope in size.

The skull is remarkable for the enormous opening of the nose-cavity, and the consequent shortness of the nasal bones, in which respect it resembles the saiga.

These were named Kirks antelope (N. ktrki), from central Somaliland, and Kilima-njaro, in the east, and the Damara antelope (N. damarensis) from Damara in the southwest; but recent researches appear to show that the second is not really distinct from the first.
