grev colour widely diflerent from the bright bu£F corresponding 

 parts of uvirensis. The sepia-brown stripe on the hindlegs appears 

 also to be absent in lutea, or at most extend onlv a little bit above 

 the pasterns. 



The total length of the skulls of the présent spécimens vary 

 between 162 and 166 mm. (in Dollman's tvpe the same measure- 

 ment was 169 mm.). It appears also to be a short-nosed race as the 

 preorbital length in the largest spécimen is onlv 80 mm., although 

 this is fully developed with worn molars, while the same measm-e- 

 ment in a young uvirensis with /;/" not y et in level with the otner 

 molars is above 87 mm. 



Sylvicapra grimmia nyansae Neumann. 



I ç (2171) from Zuwani river, Brit. East Africa (Dr. Bayer). 



It is often very difficult so identifv the animais named bv Neu- 

 mann as the descriptions are too déficient, this is also the case with 

 this Bush-Duiker, but to judge from its gênerai greyish brown 

 colour it may be right to classify this spécimen as above. 



Sylvicapra grimmia lobeliarum n. subsp. 



Dr. Bayer has also presented to the Congo Muséum a Bush- 

 Duiker which he shot at great altitude on Mount Elgon in the zone 

 of the Lobelias. This is a very remarkable and interesting spéci- 

 men (416 1), because it shows such a striking adaptation to the 

 harsh climate of its habitat. 



It has a black blaze which extends from the muffle to the tuft. 

 On the sides of the blaze the forehead as well as the face are dull 

 brown, about « burnt umber » (304.1). The upper neck has a pale 

 brownish grey colour which is difficult to describe, but which 

 resembles to some degree the palest shade of « dark fawn » (307. i), 

 but mixed with brown and duller. This is effected by the broad 

 pale (somewhat dirty buffish) rings of the hairs dominating, the 

 brown tips being thin. This same colour, only somewhat paler and
