at shoulder about 3 feet 7 inches. Both in this species and the 

 situtunga the horns of the males are longer and more twisted than in 

 the other members of the genus, and thus come very close to those of 

 the kudus. In the situtunga the coloration of the adult is uniform 

 grayish brown. The West African species ranges from the Congo to 

 the Gaboon and Cameroon districts. It has but seldom been collected 

 by sportsmen, so that very little is known of its habits in the wild 

 state. Several specimens have been bred in captivity at the Zoo- 

 logical Gardens, Amsterdam.
