26 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL.78 



Another male reedbuck was obtained by Doctor Mann at Arusha; 

 its pelt was more rufous than was that of the Bahi animal. It took 

 milk in considerable quantities during the whole period of its captiv- 

 ity until it was shipped three months later. The milk was given it 

 through a leather funnel shaped like a shoehorn, nor could the 

 obstinate animal be induced to drink it in any more reasonable 

 fashion, though its companion drank from a bowl. Like the Bahi 

 reedbuck it became riotously persistent at feeding times and many a 

 bowl of milk was knocked out of the attendant's hands. Reedbuck 

 make delightful pets and are probably easy to rear when given 

 individual attention. 



Fleas {CtenocepJialus canis) were collected from a young animal 

 taken at Bahi, May 21, 1926, and others {Ctenocephalus felis) on the 

 same animal at Dodoma some few weeks later. 



AEPYCEROS MELAMPUS SUARA (Matschie) 

 IMPALLA 



Native names. — Mbata (Chigogo); Palla (KiswahiU). 



Impalla occur 6 miles east of Dodoma township, where I have seen 

 their spoor; the natives were aware of their presence. I saw one at 

 Nzingi, which is due west of Dodoma, and half a dozen were seen not 

 far from Saranda station. 



A young one was brought in during July, but died within a few 

 days. Later a pair were obtained at Kondoa Trangi by Mr. Runton 

 and four females at Tulo by Doctor Mann. 



Measurements of immature female, 700. 170. 305. 110 mm. 



GAZELLA THOMSONI Gunther 



THOMSON'S GAZELLE 



Native names. — ?Mpunzu ?Nzera (Chigogo); Lala (KiswahiU). 

 I saw a single individual grazing on an open plain near Bahi in 

 the Dodoma district May 20, 1926. 



TRAGELAPHUS SCRIPTUS MASSAICUS Neumann 



MASSAI BUSH BUCK 



Native names. — Mbala (Chigogo); Mbarawara (Kiswahili). 



I anticipated that we should get bush buck more certainly than 

 any other species of antelope, but owing to the fact that the main 

 activities of the expedition were not in bush-buck country it so hap- 

 pened that none was received until the collection was on its way to 

 the coast, when Mr. N. C. Miller, of the game department, presented 

 us with a very young animal found at Kilosa a few days previously.
