a line with the front border of the third pair of cheek-teeth. The 

 teeth are also relatively smaller, and especially the third lobe of the last 

 molar. Externally the only noticeable distinction from kirki appears to 

 be the much greater elongation of the muzzle, which is thus decidedly 

 more trunk -like, and gives to the creature a bizarre appearance to 

 which frequent allusion has been made by Somali sportsmen. 



On the evidence of a skull and scalp from the Lake Stephanie 

 district Mr. Thomas {^Proc. Zool. Soc. 1900, p. 804) has named a 

 local race of this species Madoqua guentJieri sinithi, characterised b}' 

 its superior size. It probably bears much the same relation \.o guentheri 

 as does cave^idisJii to kirki, although, on account of the probable 

 existence of intermediate forms, it has been described as a race rather 

 than a species. 



THE WHITE-SPOTTED DIK-DIK 



{Madoqita \_R]iyncJiotragus'\ nasogiittata) 



A duiker from the neighbourhood of Lake Baringo, British East 

 Africa, was described in 1907 by Professor E. Lonnberg {Arkiv Zool. 

 Stockholm, vol. iv. no. 3, p. i) under the above name. In general 

 skull-characters it resembles guentheri, but the nose-bones are shorter. 

 The general colour is grizzled grey, becoming somewhat sandy on the 

 back, and still more yellow on the flanks ; the under-parts being white. 

 The muzzle is pale rufous, passing into bright rufous on the forehead, 

 which forms a band over each eye. The most characteristic feature — 

 if constant — is, however, the presence of a large number of white spots 

 on the anterior rufous portion of the face and the trunk-like muzzle.
