antelopes abound. On Ruwenzori these are of a species new to science, 

 with a coat of a brilliant chestnut-red. Elsewhere there is the common 

 duyker of South Africa, which is an ochreish yellow with black markings 

 on the head ; or there is the little blue Cephalophus of Uganda. This 

 is a tiny antelope hardly larger than a hare {Cephalophus equatorialis), 

 of a deep blue-grey colour inclining to black. The Baganda make beau-

 antelopes are not found, it has, nevertheless, in Buddu (west coast of the 

 Victoria Nyanza), in Ankole (round the shores of the Albert Edward Nyanza),

 In these western districts the principal antelopes found are the waterbuck
