thus not less than 5 species^ of this genus aboiit whicb this 

 has been stated and the probabibty that this negative cha- 

 racteristic shall be extended to all is still more strengthened. 

 The Spigelian lobe is large and very broad in both spe- 

 cies quoted and broadly rounded at the end where it mea- 

 sures 16 mm. in C. ogilhyi and 20 mm. in C. natalensis. It 

 is thus of the type termed »oviform» by Garrod (1). It is 

 longer in C. ogilhyi in whioh it reaches more than half way 

 across the Ii ver which is not fuUy the case in C. natalensis. 

 Lohiis caudatus is trihedral and aids to cap the kidney in 

 both species. It is almost straight and fairly large, but does 

 not reach the free margin of the right main lobe. 



The liver of Bhaj^hice^ncs campestris differs from the same 

 organ of the two Cephalophi in having a well developed gall- 

 bladder the fundus of which does not reach the margin of 

 the liver. The fundus end is free but the other sunk in a 

 rather deep fossa. The Spigelian lobe is rather large and 

 broadly rounded, about 20 mm. wide, but does not reach 

 half way across the liver. Lohus caudatus is trihedral but 

 strongly curved to the right in capping the kidney so that 

 its tip projects beyond the right margin of the rigth lobe. 



In both species of Cejjhalophus the fissure between the 

 two main lobes is not very deep, it does not extend more 

 than about IV2 cm. from the free margin, but in Rhaphicerus 

 the cleft is deeper reaching about half way through the organ. 



The spleen of Cephalophiis natalensis is not so short and 

 so triangulär in outline as in C. melanorheus (6) but more 

 clongate and about equally rounded at both ends, its greatest 

 length being about 92 mm. and its greatest breadth 60 mm. 

 The spleen of Rhaphicerus is a little smaller but has approxi- 

 mately the same shape. 



Concerning the intestine of Cephalophus natalensis the 

 following Communications can be made. The small intes- 

 tine measures 637 cm, Its connection with the peripheric 

 colic coil is short, as a rule between 2 and 2V2 cm. The 

 ileum enters the ccecum about 14 cm. from its blind end. 

 The ccecum has a width of about 3 V2 cm. Ansa proximalis 

 is not very long but wide. The colon makes about P/s centri- 



^ The others are C. maxwelli, C. pygmceus (= monticola) (1) and C. 

 melanorheus (6).
