NOTES ON THE DWARF ANTELOPES OF THE GENUS MADOQUA. 
[From P?. Z..S., 1894, Part ii. p. 323.] 
By OLDFIELD THOMAS, F.Z.S. 
The genus Madogua (by which name, as Mr. Sclater has pointed 
out, Veotragus of most authors should be known),* consists up to the 
present of three species—J/, sa/tiana, Blainv., from Abyssinia, JZ. kerke, 
Giinth, from South Somali and East Africa, and J/. damarensis, Giinth.,t 
from Damaraland. During the recent opening up of the fauna of Somali- 
land, the North Somali specimens, without any very detailed compari- 
sons, have been referred to JZ. saltiana, and the Central Somali ones to 
M. kirki, these being indeed their nearest allies in each case ; but now, 
on a careful examination of the whole genus, which has been helped by 
the further material recently collected by Capt. H. G. C. Swayne, and 
presented to the Museum by Mr. Sclater, I have come to the conclusion 
not only that these two are each different from the species to which 
* Madoqua, Ogilb. P.Z.S. 1836, p. 137. Type AV. saltiana, Blainv. eotragus, Gray et 
auct. plurim. (nec H. Sm. in Griff. An. King. iv. p. 269. Type . pygmaeus, L.). The genus 
which has hitherto borne the name of Manotragus, Sund. (1846), must therefore now be known 
by that of Meolvagus. 
+ Mr. True, in his paper on the Mammals of Kilima’njaro (P.U.S. Nat. Mus. xv. p. 477, 
1892), has suggested that JZ. Airki and AZ. damarens?s are the same, and uses for them the latter 
of these two names, unaccountably as it appears to me, £77%7 having been the first described. In 
my opinion, however, AZ. damarensis is really distinct from AZ. k¢rk77, being considerably larger 
than the latter, as may be seen by the synopsis and measurements given below.
