Abstract

Pienaar (1974) showed the habitat preferences of South African antelope species in a two-way table. Rows represent species and columns represent habitats. Matrix entries link species to their preferred habitats (Table 1). Species in Table 1 are in taxonomic order, which has no apparent bearing on their habitat preferences.
