The ears are small, and covered with hairs of the same colour as 

 those on the top of the head. The tip of the muzzle is bare. The 

 moustaches and long bristly hairs on the sides of the face are brown, 

 paler at the base, and blackish at the apex. The tail is about equal 

 to half the whole length of the animal. The fur is short, and the hairs 

 are nearly erect ; the under fur is of a brownish-white colour, glossy 

 silk-like nature, and tolerably abundant. There are no feet to the skin. 



Antilope Ogilbyi. Ant. splendide fuscescenti-aurata, subtics pal- 

 lidior, lined dorsali nigra ; .collo fusco lavato; caudd brevietjloc- 

 cosd, nigrescente, pilis albis subiiis inter sper sis.

" The small bushy tail, the character of the fur, which is short and 

 closely adpressed, and the colouring, all indicate in this species, I 

 imagine, an affinity to the Ant. scripta, with which it appears to agree 

 in size. The brown neck, deeper and richer colouring, and the ab- 

 sence of white markings on the body, however, will serve to distin- 

 guish it from that species. As in Ant. scripta, there is a black line 

 along the spine of the back. 



" The skin from which the above description is taken is without 

 head or limbs. The length from the shoulders to the root of the 

 tail is about two feet eight inches. The tail is about four and a 

 half inches. 



" If my conjectures regarding the affinities of this animal prove 

 correct, it will belong to the sub- genus Tragelaphus of Hamilton 

 Smith, or to the more extended group to which Mr. Ogilby has ap- 

 plied the name of Calliope. 



" I have taken the liberty of naming this animal after the author 

 last mentioned, whose careful researches in the Ruminant animals 

 have thrown considerable light on the affinities of the species." 



Mr. Waterhouse then proceeded to notice two skins which had been 

 just brought from Sierra Leone by Major Henry Dundas Campbell, 

 (late Governor of that Colony,) and sent by him for exhibition at 

 the Society's evening meeting, with a promise on the part of Major 

 Campbell to present them to the Museum, in the event of his being 

 able to make an arrangement with a party to whom he had parted 

 with them as an article of commerce. One of these specimens was 

 a remarkably fine skin of a species of Colobus, described by Mr. 

 Ogilby in the Society's Proceedings under the name of Col. ursinus ; 

 the skin, however, upon which Mr. Ogilby founded his species was 

 imperfect, and until the opportunity afforded by the inspection of 

 the present specimen, nothing was known of the colour of the head 

 and face, which prove to be greyish white.
