Nanotragus moschatus (Sundevall). Zanzibar Pygmy Antelope, 
The collection includes the skin of a young male antelope of very 
small size, which may be this species. It agrees well with Sundevall’s 
description. The length of the flat skin (head and body) is 20 inches. 
The individual is quite young, as is indicated by the entire absence of 
horns and by the condition of the teeth. Only four molars and pre- 
molars are in position in each side the mouth, above and below; the 
premolars belong to the milk dentition. Dr. Abbott remarks on i“ 
label: “ Brought alive by natives, who say that the adult male is a 
little larger and has small horns.” The native Kichaga name of the 
species is Suni. : i 
325%). Male, young. Mount Kilima-Njaro, December 9, 1889, about 6,000 feet. 
Bubalis caffer (Sparrm.). Cape Buffalo. 
The heads of two males and two females of this species were brought 
home by Dr. Abbott. The larger male is a remarkably fine specimen, 
with very large horns. 
The dimensions of the skulls and horns are as follows:
