 bushes all the way up in the rain forest. The skin is an article of trade* (SJOSTEDT).

 a gravid state when shot. - 1 female from the same locality 27 /4 1906. 



Common at the Natron lakes between Kilimandjaro and Meru especially during 

 the dry season, when they were found at every visit I made there. They lay hiding 

 in the high grass at the shore in single specimens, or some few near each other, 

 sometimes also in the bushes on the steppe near the lakes. They appeared to like 

 as well the dense bulrushes (Scirpus). They lie close and very often do not break 

 cover before the sportsman is quite near them. Towards evening they appear grazing 

 on the open places near their cover. (SJOSTEDT).

I am uncertain whether this Pallah deserves to be counted as a separate sub- 

 species as the characters are rather vague and the variability is great. The horns
