1786 G. Forster tr. A. Sparrman Voy. Cape Good Hope (ed. 2) II. 219 The bonte-bok, the painted or pied goat..somewhat less than the harte-beest.

1834 Penny Cycl. II. 85/1 The Blessbok (A. Pygarga)..this splendid animal, which is likewise called bontebok or painted goat.

1852 Times 11 Sept. 1/5 (advt.) The collection now contains upwards of 1,600 specimens, including two fine Chimpanzees,..Elands, Bonteboks, Camels,..Ostriches, and the Apteryx.

1876 Proc. Sci. Meetings Zool. Soc. 286 In habits, size, and appearance the Bontebock is almost identical with the Blesbock.
