ABYSSINIAN DUIKER (Cephalophus abyssinicus). 

 Abyssinian name, Midaku. 



Belonging to the same sub-group as the common duiker, and 

 agreeing with the crowned duiker (C. coronatus] in size, this species 

 differs from the latter by the general colour of the fur being grayish 

 brown, instead of bright yellow. It was discovered by the traveller 

 Ruppell, and its habits have been well described by Mr. W. T. Blan- 

 ford in his Geology and Zoology of Abyssinia.
