Different districts of Somaliland are inhabited by the three species 

 of dik-diks above named. The first of these is allied to Salt's dik-dik, 

 but is of smaller size ; it inhabits the northern half of Somaliland. 

 Phillips's dik-dik, which also occurs in Northern Somaliland, is inter- 

 mediate in size between Salt's and Swayne's dik-dik, from both of which 

 it is distinguished by having the back gray and the sides and shoulders 

 rich rufous or cinnamon. On the other hand, Giinther's dik-dik is 

 widely different from both, being nearly allied to the under-mentioned 

 Kirk's dik-dik, from which it is distinguished by the form of the nasal 

 bones in the skull.
