164 Mr. J. E. Gray on some Species of Cephalophus. 



long as head, acute ; horns black, elongate, slender, base rugose 

 and subangular in front. 



Inhab. S. Africa. 



This species varies greatly in the intensity of the colours and 

 in the extent of the black on the feet and nose. In one young 

 specimen in the British Museum the black on the nose is quite 

 deficient ; and a newly born specimen has the bright colouring 

 of the breeding-season, and is bright bay on the crown. 



The specimen of A. platous in the London Missionary Society's 

 Museum appears to be only a pale specimen of C. mergens with- 

 out the black nose streak. 



2. The Black-faced Philantomba, Cephalophus Campbellia. An- 

 telope Grimmia, Pallas, Spec. Zool. xii. 18. 1. 1 ? ? C. Burchellii, 

 var. (C. Campbellice), Gray, Cat. B. M. 162. 



Gray and black, grisled ; belly white ; cheeks, neck and chest 

 yellowish ; forehead yellow, with a black streak on the nose 

 widening on the forehead and ending in a tuft behind the horns ; 

 feet and front of fore-legs reddish black ; fur soft ; hair gray, with 

 black subterminal ring and tip j ears elongate, acute. 



Inhab. S. Africa. 



This species agrees in most respects with Pallas' s description 

 of an animal from Guinea ; his name unfortunately cannot be re- 

 tained, as there are three A. Grimmia : — 



1. The Capra sylvestris africana of N. Grimm. Misc. Cur. 

 Norimb. 1705. 131. 1. 13, the authority for Capra Grimmia, Ray, 

 Syn. 80, and Linn. S. N. (ed. x.) 70. Moschus Grimmii, Linn. 

 S. N. ed. 12. from the Cape, of a dull gray colour. Probably the 

 Duyker, C. mergens. 



2. Le Grimme of Buifon, H. N. xii. 307. 329. t. 41. f. 2. 3. 

 from a head sent from Senegal by Adamson, the Antelope Grim- 

 mia of Desmarest, F. Cuvier, and H. Smith, &c, the C. rufilatus. 



3. The A. Grimmia of Pallas, like the above. 



u Fitomba " or u Philantomba " appears to be the generic name 

 of all the W. Afriean Cephalophi or Bush Antelopes. 



The Cephalophus quadriscopa, H. Smith, Griffith, A. K. t. 188, 

 the only well- described species which we do not possess, appears to 

 belong to this section ; it is peculiar as being the only bush goat 

 with knee tuft, and the only antelope with tuft on the hind as 

 well as the fore-legs. 



3. Red-crowned Bush Buck, Cephalophus coronatus, C. coro- 

 natus, Gray, Ann. N. Hist. x. 1842, 266. Ant. Madoqua, Rup- 

 pell, Faun. Abys. t. 7. f. 2; Sundevall. 



Pale yellowish brown ; middle of back, and part of fore legs 

 varied with a few scattered black hairs ; crown bright bay ; crest
