The four known species of reedbucks have been placed in three 
different genera or subgenera, but it does not seem necessary or advis- 
able that they be so separated. ‘wo species are well known over 
most of eastern Equatorial Africa and the occurrence of some form of 
the South African Redunca arundinum, in the Bahr-el-Ghazal Prov- 
ince of Sudan, has been announced by Blaine.!

Specimens.—Six, from the following localities: 
Supan: Mongalla Province, 150 miles east of Lado, 2 (Smith). 
Ucanpa: Nimule, 60 miles north, 4 (T. Roosevelt, Heller, Loring). 
On the basis of our own material I should be inclined to recognize 
Redunca bohor donaldsoni (Rothschild) as a valid subspecies. The 
two specimens listed above from Sudan were collected not far from 
the type locality, which is near the Sudan-Uganda boundary. The 
male has long wide-spreading horns, very different from any shown 
by the small series from nearer the Nile, below Nimule; but both 
Lydekker? and Heller? who have examined more material from 
these regions than is available in America, state that the horn char- 
acters ascribed to the two races do not hold good as constant differ- 
ences. It is perhaps doubtful if cottoni is in itself well differentiated 
from typical bohor of Central Abyssinia; the characters of the various
