Skull of Phillips’s Dik-dik. Head of Swayne’s Dik-dik. 
SOMALI DIK-DIKS (Madoqua swaynei, M. phillipsi, and M. guentheri). 
Sakdro, Somali. 
Different districts of Somaliland are inhabited by several species of 
dik-diks, of which three are named above. The first of these is allied to 
Salt’s dik-dik but smaller; it inhabits the northern half of Somaliland. 
Phillips’s dik-dik, which also occurs in Northern Somaliland, is inter- 
mediate in size between Salt’s and Swayne’s dik-dik, from both of which 
it is distinguished by having the back grey and the sides and shoulders 
rich rufous or cinnamon. On the other hand, Giinther’s dik-dik is 
widely different from both, being nearly allied to the undermentioned 
Kirk’s dik-dik, from which it is distinguished by the form of the nasal 
bones in the skull. It inhabits the central plateau of Northern Somali- 
land. 
Height of Swayne’s dik-dik at shoulder about 14 inches.
