shot by Büttikofer, but, as it was destroyed by ants, its 

 skull alone could be saved. 



Plate 2 presents very exactly drawn figures of the male, 

 female and young, and will give a better idea of this 

 splendid species than Eraser's figure ; the distribution of 

 the colors will be clearer demonstrated than by a long 

 description. The only point to which I call attention is 

 the interesting brush on the heel. I observed small bjushes 

 on the heel in a few other species of small Antelopes 

 although always in young ones , never in adult ones. In 

 Antilope doria however the heel-brushes are highly deve- 

 loped iu the young as well as in full-grown specimens of 

 both sexes. 



The skeleton presents 7 cervicales, 14 costales, 5 lum- 

 bares , 3 sacrales and 1 5 caudales. 



33. Euryceros euryceros, Ogilby. 



One specimen, an adult male, Hill-towa (Büttikofer 

 and Starapfli) , one skin without extremities from the Junk 

 River (Stampfli) and one skin without extremities from 

 the Mahfa River (Büttikofer). 



Diese Antilope ist ausschliesslicher Waldbewohner. 



Described by Ogilby in 1836 after two pairs of horns, 

 one attached to the skull , the other to the integuments 

 of the head and from an unknown locality. A specimen 

 without hoofs, ears and tail in Du Chaillu's collections 

 and described as a new species , Tragelaphus alhovirgatus 

 (Gray cites Tragelaphus alhovittatus , P. Z. S. L. 1861, 

 p. 276) by that traveller, belongs according to Gray to 

 Ogilby's species. There is a young male, figured P. Z. S. 

 L. 1871, pi. XXXIX, from the Ashkankoloo Mountains, 

 and from Du Chaillu's voyage, in the British Museum. 



In the Leyden Museum is a pair of horns of an adult male 

 from Central Africa (Catalogue osteologique , 1887, p. 141).
