RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



small size of the cheek-teeth. Height at shoulder, 4 1 inches ; weight 

 1 1 5 Ibs. 



This antelope, first described by the late Sir V. Brooke on the 

 evidence of a flat skin, is in the habit of raising itself on its hind-legs 

 when browsing, and is thus enabled to reach boughs at a very con- 

 siderable distance above the ground. 



Herr Oscar Neumann pointed out in 1899 that the Somali and 

 Abyssinian gerenuk (Lithocranius walleri sclateri] is somewhat different 

 from the East African or typical gerenuk. The northern form is larger, 

 with finer horns, a longer neck, a less rufous colour, and lacks the black 

 knee -tufts, while the white markings of the tail are also different. 

 Sclater's gerenuk is treated as a distinct species by Messrs. Sclater and 

 Thomas, but is better regarded as a local race or subspecies.
