EMIN'S DUIKER 



{CephalopJius eniini^ 



Under this title Dr. T. Noack {ZoologiscJicr Anseiger, vol. x.xvii 

 p. 405, 1905) has described the headless skin of a medium-sized 

 duiker from East Central Africa, probably west of the Victoria 

 Nyanza. It is characterised by the unusually long hair, which on the 

 back is rufous brown ; and the presence of a yellow ring on each hair 

 of the under-parts and limbs, which communicates a speckled brown 

 and yellow appearance to the coat of these parts.

With the well-known and unmistakable " rock-jumper " we come 

 to another subfamily i^NeotragincE) of antelopes, containing several 

 generic groups, all restricted to Africa. They are all small or medium- 

 sized species, with either naked or trunk-like and hairy muzzles, large 

 face-glands opening by a circular orifice, and a short or medium tail. 

 The lateral hoofs may or may not be present ; and the horns, which 

 are wanting in the females, are short, nearly or quite straight, and 

 rise vertically or with a backward inclination, their bases being ridged 

 and the tips smooth. 



From the other members of the group, the klipspringer, which is 

 the only representative of its genus, is readily distinguished by the 

 thick pithy hair, the rudimentary tail, and, above all, by the rounded 

 and blunt hoofs, upon the tips of which the animal alone stands. The 

 nearly vertical horns have a slightly forward curvature, and are ringed 

 for the basal third of their length. 



The main hoofs, which are relatively large, rise almost vertically 

 from the ground when the animal is in a standing posture ; and well-
