He informs me that he saw in the one troop two bucks, three does, and two young, one 
of the latter being suckled by an ordinary-coloured cow. The eyes were normal in 
colour and not pink, so they are not Albinos. 
Two subspecies of Kobus ellipsiprymnus have also been described 
by Matschie from extreme southern German East Africa, just within 
the limits of the area included by this report. These are Kobus 
ellipsiprymnus kondensis,! from Mwaya, northwestern end of Lake 
Nyassa; and Kobus ellipsiprymnus lipuwa* from the same locality. 
Colonel Roosevelt was much impressed by his first troduction to 
the waterbuck, at Juja Farm, and wrote as follows: ° 
The waterbuck is a stately antelope with long, coarse gray hair and fine carriage of 
the head and neck; the male alone carries horns. We found them usually in parties 
of ten or a dozen, both of bulls and cows; but sometimes a party of cows would go alone, 
or three or four bulls might be found together. In spite of its name, we did not find 
it much given to going in the water, although it would cross the river fearlessly when- 
ever it desired; it was, however, always found not very far from water. It liked the 
woods and did not go many miles from the streams, yet we frequently saw it on the 
open plains a mile or two from trees, feeding in the vicinity of the zebra and the harte- 
beest. This was, however, usually quite early in the morning or quite late in the 
afternoon. In the heat of the day it clearly preferred to be in the forest, along the 
stream’s edge, or in the bush-clad ravines.

In addition to the proposed forms listed above in the synonymy

described by Matschie* from the west side of the outlet of Albert 
Nyanza, Lado Enclave, as Kobus defassa albertensis. Still more sub-
