Specumens.—Twenty-three, from the following localities: 
British Kast Arrica: Agate’s, Loita Plains, 1 skull (Folsom); 
Amala River, 1 (Rainey); Lake Naivasha, 3 (Heller); Loita Plains, 
3 skulls (Mearns); Southern Guaso Nyiro, 11 (Mearns, Loring, T. 
Roosevelt, Heller); Telek River, Loita Plains, 2 (Rainey). 
GERMAN Hast Arrica: Serengeti Plains, 2 odd skulls (Clark). 
The specimens from the Serengeti Plains resemble in all particulars 
skulls from the Loita Plains and Naivasha Lake regions of British 
Kast Africa. The range of the species Rhynchotragus thomasi Neu- 
mann was said by the describer to reach the country immediately 
southeast from Victoria Nyanza, although the type locality of the 
form is far to the southeast in Ugogo. The type specimen of R. 
thomasi was examined by Heller in the Berlin Museum, and the fol- 
lowing notes made by him, on file in the National Museum, may well 
be put on record here: 
Rhynchotragus thomasi Neumann. Type (marked on label), A5581, Tisso (Kwa 
Mede), North Ugogo. O. Neumann, coll. Skin stuffed; color rich ochraceous rufous 
on back, sides, neck, and head; only back of thighs and rump grayish; legs pure 
ochraceous rufous. Two other flat skins from the type locality are decidedly grayer, 
and more buffy in tone rather than ochraceous rufous; underparts white. The skull 
of the type could not be found in the Berlin Museum. Neumann says it is not at 
his house and must be in the museum. There is a topotype skull, 2 A5580, O. Neu- 
mann; immature, last molar not erupted.

velt and Heller, Life-Hist. African Game Anim., vol. 2, p.632. 1914.
