sides of the neck through « rust red » (31 8.1) and still paler on 

 the fore neck, but there is not any white, neither there nor on the 

 throat. Sides of face and cheeks somewhat overlaid with dark 

 brown, and thus daller in colour. The gênerai colour of the body 

 passes from « Indian Chestnut red » (333.1) and through différent 

 shades of «rust red», 318.4 to 318. i on the flanks. The lower side 

 of the breast is, however, warm sepia, alinost black and the belly 

 white. The fore legs are black from the pasterns and well above 

 the « knee », then mixed black and body-colour. On the hind legs 

 the black is confined to a patch on the heel, the pasterns and a 

 portion of about equal length above them. Otherwise they hâve 

 the colour of the bodv and there is no black stripe running from 

 the pasterns to the heel on the posterior side of the metatarsus as 

 is often the case in C. nigrifrons Claudi. The tail is at the base of 

 the same colour as the back but then black to the tuft with only 

 few white hair on the lower side at the middle and mixed in the 

 tuft. 



The female is similar to the maie with following exceptions. The 

 interorbital région is mixed mahogany and black, the black of the 

 fore limb reaches nearly up to the elbow, the black patch on the 

 heel is larger with a stripe running up in front of the leg, the meta- 

 tarsus is mixed with black, but without any stripe between pasterns 

 and heel. 



The hair has about the same consistencv as in Claudi, not so 

 stifF as in kiviiensis . 



This Duiker is longer than C. nigrifrons Claudi^ the length of 

 the hind foot being (hoofs included) about 27 cm. in the female and 

 about 26 in the maies. 



As the following cranial measurements prove, the skulls of the 

 Katanga race is also somewhat larger. Especially is the interorbital- 

 breadth considerably larger. 



Thèse conclusions are independent of the great différence which 

 the skulls exhibit inter se in some respects. This is at the first look 

 apparent with regard to the nasals. Thèse are narrowest in the 

 female, but hâve in the oldest maie become much broader basai ly 

 and are there bulged out towards the sides. This is less pronounced 

 in the young adult maie, but at a comparison with the female skuU
