of the ear is rather large. An imperfect skin from Kapiri is quite 

 « buff » (309.4) without dark sprinkling on the back. 



The largest female skull has a total length of 180.5 "im-, the 

 smallest female {m^ not worn) 175 mm. and a maie is still smaller 

 only 170.5 mm. The basai length of the first mentioned female 

 skull is 155.5, ^rid thatof the maie 146.5 mm. The preorbital length 

 of the same are resp. 94.2 and 89 mm., and the length of the upper 

 molar séries 54 and 53.7 mm. resp. 



The size of this race is thus about the same as that of splendi- 

 dala with which it is no doubt nearlv related, but diflfers in mar- 

 kings as mentioned above. 



In the year 1894 Lorenz (') named a single young Duiker from 

 the Victoria Falls, Zambesi Cephalophus grimtnia flavescens, but 

 the whole description he bestowed upon it was a remark, that it 

 had a « im Ganzen mehr braungelbe Fârbung indem die einzelnen 

 Haare des Rûckens an der Spitze weniger schwarz sind und vor 

 derselben einen breiteren hellen Ring haben ». This in comparison 

 with the typical South African form. If Lorenz' Jlavescens includes 

 the Katanga form is absolutelv impossible to say for the présent, 

 but as Wroughton has expressed the opinion that it is distributed 

 in Northern Rhodesia as well it might be possible, and I prefer to 

 leave the question open (").

(^) A Bush Duiker from the Limpopo-valley presented by Dr. Holub to the R. Nat. 

 Hist. Muséum, Stockholm, appears to agrée with Lorenz' notes about \\\% flavcscois. There 

 is also in the muséum quoted another rather similar spécimen, the pale colouration of 

 which has already been observed by Sundev all, who has written about it in the register : 

 « var. col. pall. » (varietas colore pallido) This spécimen is said to be from « Damara vel 

 Ngami ». From this il will appear, that pale Bush Duikers, similar to, or idenlical with 

 Sylvicnpra grimmia flavescens LoRENz, hâve a rather wide distribution from the Limpopo 

 Valley and the Kalahari country in the south tu Katanga m the north.
