NOTES ON THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERA 



" CEPHALOPHUS „ AND " SYLVICAPRA „ 



IN THE CONGO MUSEUM

Especially the first of thèse gênera is often very scantily repré- 

 sentée! in most muséums. It was therefore a great pleasure to me, 

 when Dr. Schouteden kindly invited me to examine the rich 

 material of Duikers in the Congo Muséum at Tervueren. Some of 

 thèse Antelopes proved to represent undescribed subspecies which 

 now hâve been named, and their descriptions are found in the fol- 

 lowing. Concerning other species additional and complementarv 

 notes could be made as well concerning their gênerai appearance 

 and variation as about their skull characters. Finally the material 

 gave important additional knowledge about the geographical occur- 

 rence of several forms, which hitherto onlv were known in a few 

 spécimens, perhaps even from not very definite localities. Although 

 thèse short notes prove, how much still is lacking in our know- 

 ledge about this interesting group of Antelopes, they may also be 

 found to give some information of value about the same.
