the Lukenie valley, district of Sankuru. Bj Mr. Pilette's find of 

 thèse two spécimens the distribution of the species is extended 

 further east to the western part of the Maniema district, but it is 

 as yet unknown from the eastern side of Lualaba river. At Kindu 

 Mr. PiLETTE found it to be common, and he has communicated a 

 photo of the same in his book « A travers l'Afrique équatoriale », 

 (fig. 130 on p. 378). 



Cephalophus nyasse congicus Lônnb. 



Several spécimens from Tua, « district du Moyen Congo », agrée 

 entirely with the description I hâve communicated (') and based 

 on a spécimen from Mukimbungu ; there is also a spécimen of the 

 same kind from Mayumbé, Lower Congo. 



Cephalobus nyasœ Defriesi Rothschild. 



Native name : « Buluku ». 



Spécimens from Kinda in Katanga I think ought to be referred 

 to this subspecies. They differ from the foregoing in having deci- 

 dedly more rufous on the flanks, etc. and agrée with Rothschild's 

 description as far as it reaches, but it is very short. 



A very characteristic feature in ail the spécimens from Kinda is 

 that the rufous of the hams extends on to the tail and as a « fawn » 

 (308.3) coloured stripe on either side divides the black of the upper 

 from the white of the lower side. If this is not présent in C. «.' 

 Defriesiy it is possible that the Kinda spécimens represent a race 

 of their own. The colour of the hams is «fawn» (308.1-2). The 

 colour of the flanks is produced bv pale fawn-coloured tips to the 

 basally light smoke grey hairs. In one of the spécimens this colour 

 extends also over the lower parts which in the other spécimens are 

 white even to the basai parts of the hair. The legs are fawn 

 coloured (308.1). The colour of the dorsal parts begins on the
