Specumens.—Thirty-four, as follows: 
British Hast Arrica: Juja Farm, 2 (T. Roosevelt); Kabalolot 
Hill, 3, including 1 odd skull (Rainey); Laikipia, 1 (K. Roosevelt) ; 
Lake Hannington, 1 (K. Roosevelt); Lake Naivasha, 1 skull (Heller) ; 
Lime Springs, Sotik, 2 (Rainey); Njoro Osolali, 1 (K. Roosevelt) ; 
Sigaa, 1 (Draper); Southern Guaso Nyiro River, 11, including 1 odd 
skull (T. Roosevelt, Mearns, Draper, K. Roosevelt); Taveta, 4 
(Abbott); Telek River, 1 skull (Heller); Ulukenia Hills, 1 skull 
(Loring). 
GerMAN Hast Arrica: Mount Kilimanjaro, 3 (Abbott); Serengeti 
Plains, western edge, 2, including 1 odd skull (Clark). 
Specimens from the Athi Plains, from the Kilimanjaro region, and 
from the Sotik are indistinguishable. It is to be regretted that no 
complete skins from Laikipia, Lake Hannington, and Naivasha are 
available for comparison; but head skins from the first two localities 
seem clearly to belong here rather than with the next form.

Specumens.—Three, from the following localities: 
British East Arrica: Lakiundu River, 1 (Rainey); Northern 
Guaso Nyiro River, 2 skulls (Heller). 
This form, judging by the single skin of an adult male from the 
Lakiundu River, is very well marked. This skin is much darker, 
more mahogany-red, than any impala skin in the rather extensive 
series from other parts of British East Africa or from northern 
German East Africa, all of which are distinctly more rusty, or paler
