Except for its brighter colour, the closer spiral and smaller diver- 
gence of the horns, the absence of a fringe of long hair on the throat, 
the more numerous stripes, white throat-bands, and narrower ears, this 
antelope might almost pass for a miniature of its. larger relation. 
Height at shoulder about 3 feet 5 inches. Weight about 230 lbs. 
Distribution. — North-East Africa, from Somaliland to British and 
German East Africa. This antelope generally goes in pairs or threes, 
and is partial to the covert of thick bush, from which it seldom 
emerges except for the purpose of feeding. Its coloration is 
typical of that of forest-dwelling antelopes, and is essentially of a 
protective nature.
