each eye ending towards the back of nose in a fine small 

 line of a pure white like the mentioned spot. 



The following measurements I took of the new species : 

 from upperlip till base of tail. .101 cm. 



ear 6 » 



skull: basal length 16.5 » 



greatest breadth . . . . 8.7 » 

 orbit to muzzle .... 9 » 

 length upper molar series. 5.2 » 

 » lower » » . 6.3 » 



Comparing these measurements with those of a large 

 adult cf skull of dorsalis it grows evident how larger in 

 all dimensions our new species is. I can give the following 

 figures of skull h (Catalogue osteologique des Mammifères 

 du Muséum d'Histoire naturelle des Pays-Bas) of one of 

 our dorsalis specimens: 



basal length 15.5 cm. 



greatest breadth .... 8.5 » 



orbit to muzzle . . . . 8,7 » 



length upper molar series . 5.1 » 



» lower » » . 5.7 » 



Cephalophus leucoprosopus (Matschie). 



The other day the Museum received from the Rotter- 

 dam Zoological Garden an Antelope, resembling specimens 

 headed in my Catalogue as Grimmia ocularis Peters, h and 

 c, in 1888 and 1890 received from the Zoological Garden 

 at the Hague. I now see that the named specimens agree 

 more with C. leucoprosopus Matschie, although ocularis is 

 their nearest ally. As one of Peters' typical specimens is 

 in our Museum, I compare now Matschie's species with 

 Peters' ditto. Peters' species is from Mossambique, Mat- 

 schie's from Angola ; the Hague-specimens certainly are 

 from Western Africa and the Rotterdam-specimen from 

 the Lower-Congo. 



In both species the distribution of the colors is the
