DUIKERBOK 161 
measures from 23 to 26 inches at the shoulder, ranges on the west as 
far north as Angola, and on the east to British East Africa and 
Somaliland, and is represented by a smaller race, C. ¢. abyssinicus, 
in Abyssinia. Weight about 30 lbs. Throughout its habitat the 
duikerbok is to be met with wherever sufficient covert exists; and 
its furtive, squatting, dodging habits are most aptly indicated by 
its name. Occurring either singly or in pairs, it strictly avoids both 
open plains and steep, rocky mountains. Absence of water is, how- 
ever, no bar to its existence, as it thrives in the heart of the Kalahari. 
It is occasionally hunted with foxhounds : the flesh is moderately good.
