Kilimanjaro Red Duiker 



Cephalophus natalensis harveyi 



Native Name: Swahili, nuno. 



Cephalophus harveyi Thomas, 1893, Ann. i^ Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), XI, p. 48. 



Range. — From the Juba and Tana Rivers southward 

 along the coast to German East Africa and westward to 

 KiHmanjaro and Mount Meru. 



Jackson collected the type which was named at his 

 suggestion for Harvey, who had shot a specimen previously 

 on the River Lumi near Taveta. The type specimen was 

 obtained in the Kahe forest on the south slope of Kiliman- 

 jaro. Several years previous to the discovery of the 

 species by Harvey, Sir John Kirk sent a specimen to the 

 British Museum from Malindi which had been referred to 

 natalensis and then forgotten. Other specimens have been 

 shot on the coast of German East Africa near Tanga, 

 Saadani, and Dar-es-Salam. The northern record is based 

 on specimens secured on the lower Juba River by Captain 

 Bottego in 1894. 



The Kilimanjaro red duiker may be distinguished from 

 the highland race of British East Africa by its lighter- 

 colored legs, smaller body size, and absence of white on the 

 inner side of the limbs on their basal portion. From the 

 typical race, natalensis, of South Africa it differs by having 

 the whole dorsal surface of the snout and head black or 

 deep seal-brown in color. No flesh measurements of speci- 

 mens are recorded. The skull length of the male specimen 

 shot by Doctor L. W. Abbott near Taveta and now in the 

 National Museum is 6^/i inches. The horn dimensions in 

 this specimen are: length, 3^ inches; girth at the base, 2^ 

 inches.
