mens have been available to me from the Sudan. These are from the 

 White Nile and from Fashoda, both presumably within the range

Remarks: The bushbucks listed here as species of the genus 

 Tragelaphus were formerly considered to belong to the genera Strep- 

 siceros, Limnotragus , and Tragelaphus. The two former genera 

 are now considered subgenera. The species under the subgenus 

 Strepsiceros is strepsiceros ; for the subgenus Limnotragus the species is 

 spekii; and for the subgenus Tragelaphus the species is scriptus.
