RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



Tamulikan, Machabi, Sunta, and Chobi rivers, as well- as the 

 tributaries of the Zambesi east of the Victoria Falls, and 

 throughout Mashonaland and Matabililand, rooi rhebok are still 

 abundant. Those from the Manica plateau, north of the Zambesi 

 may be the East African race. 



The reedbuck discovered by Mr. Vaughan Kirby in the Lydenburg 

 range of the Transvaal departs from the ordinary type of the mountain 

 reedbuck in exhibiting a tendency to partial albinism. Whether this 

 peculiarity entitles it to be regarded as a distinct race (Cervicapra 

 fulvorufula subalpind) must, for the present, remain a moot point. 



A reedbuck from East Africa, described by Mr. Walter Rothschild 

 from a single skin as a distinct species, appears to be, at most, nothing 

 more than a local race of the rooi rhebok (Cervicapra fulvorufula 

 chanleri}. In the type specimen the nose shows a dark streak like the 

 one often seen in the rooi rhebok and common reedbuck.
