Inhabits W. Africa. Brit. Mus. 



The adult male in the British Museum is bright sooty brown, 

 darker near the rump ; the female is nearly uniform pale grey brown. 

 It is well figured by M. F. Cuvier. It is known from C. monticola 

 by being larger, by the whiteness of the eye-streak, and of the front 

 of the thigh and chest. 



13. Cephalophus monticola. The Notjmetge or Cape 



Guevei. 



Grey brown ; streak over the eyes, legs and outer part of thighs 

 rufous ; feet grey brown ; chin, chest, abdomen, and under side of tail 

 and inside of ears white ; fur soft, grey, with intermixed rather rigid 

 black hairs.

The colours vary in intensity ; in a female in the British Museum, 

 the rufous colour of the thighs and the white of the chest are more 

 distinct than in the male, but this may depend on the season when 

 they were killed. A very young fawn (perhaps hardly born), which 

 was brought home from the Cape by M. Verreaux, is darker, and the 

 reddish tint extends over nearly the whole body. 



Thunberg described the South African species, but says that there 

 is a specimen in the Stockholm Museum, brought by Afzelius from 

 Sierra Leone, which agrees with his animal ; so he evidently did not 

 observe the difference between the two species. 



14. Cephalophus melanorheus. The Black-rumped 



Guevei. 

 Grey brown ; throat and sides paler ; rump and upper part of tail 

 black ; chin, chest, abdomen, back and front edge of thighs and under 

 part of tail white ; narrow streak over the eyes whitish ; feet like the 

 back ; fur soft, pale grey, with intermixed rather rigid black hairs.
