I90 ANTELOPES 



represents the Abyssinian species. It is extremely common on the 

 plains at Berbera, where it may be put up in numbers, just as are 

 hares in Europe. 



Both this and the next two species might well be regarded in the 

 light of local races of M. saltiana. 



THE HARAR DIK-DIK 



{Madoqua Jiararensis) 



The dik-dik inhabiting the Harar district of South Somaliland as 

 far as the Webbe Shebeyli has been separated from the last by 

 Mr. Oscar Neumann on p. 87 of the Sitziings-BericJite Ges. Naturfor. 

 Berlin for 1905 under the above name. Having the flanks of the same 

 uniform rufous as in pJiillipsi, it is distinguished by the hairs of the 

 back lacking the ashy grey and dark brown grizzling of the latter, 

 and having merely their tips ringed with isabelline rufous and dark 

 brown, so that the whole tone of the back is rufous fawn. 



ERLANGER'S DIK-DHv 



{Madoqua erlangeri) 



In this species, or race, which inhabits eastern Arussiland between 

 the upper Webbe Shebeyli and the Webbe Ganale, the back has the 

 same rufous tint as in Jiararensis, but the hairs of the flanks, in place 

 of being uniformly coloured, have light tips or light reddish and dark 

 rings, so that, unlike hararensis and pJiillipsi, the sides of the body are 

 rufous grey instead of rufous. The whole animal resembles a red 

 sivaynei ; the limbs are darker than in pJiillipsi or Jiararensis, and the 

 size seems smaller than in any of the three species named. This 

 dik-dik was named by Mr. Neumann at the same time as the last. 



S WAYNE'S DIK-DIK 



{Madoqua swaynei) 



Sokaro Gtiyu, SoMALl 



As this dik-dik, which was described by Mr. Thomas at the same 

 time as Madoqua pJiillipsi, inhabits the same districts as the latter.
