JEpyceros melamjms rendilis, Lonnberg, K. Svenska Vet.-Ak. Handl. 

 vol. xlviii. no. 5, p. 164, 1912. 



Larger than the Soutli African Inipala with longer and stouter 

 horns, good horns measuring on curve from 28 to 31^ inches in 

 length. Cleneral colour brighter. The best pair of horns in the 

 Collection (No. 19.7.15. 287) measure as follows: — length on 

 curve 28| ; straight line from point to base 21 1 ; circumference 

 5| ; spread from tip to tip 12. 



Type locality, Northern (iuaso Nyii'o, Kenya Colony. This 

 race is apparently distributed over a large part of Kenya Colony, 

 from the Northern Gruaso Nyiro and Turkwel Kiver in the north, 

 southwards towards the Tanganyika Territory boundary, where it 

 probably merges with the closely allied race siiara described by 

 Matschie * from the Kilimanjaro District. It may be, that when 

 more material is available for examination, it will be found that the 

 Kilimanjaro and Northern Guaso Nyiro Imjialas represent one race 

 only, in which case the name given by Matschie would have to 

 be adopted for the Impala of Kenya Colony and Tanganyika 

 Territory.
