BAY DUIKEE (Cephalophus dorsalis). 



From the last species the bay duiker, together with some allied 

 West African forms, differs by the presence of a black stripe running 

 along the back and continued to the tail. As a species, its special 

 characters are the dark colour of the hams, and the evenly haired tail, 

 which shows no sign of a tuft, and is parti-coloured. 

 Distribution. West Africa, from Sierra Leone to the Cameroons ; there 

 being a northern and a southern race.

 its kindred.

 Sierra Leone, where it is commonly known as the mountain deer.
