white. Lips and chin, a line all round the fore-quarters separating 

 the black from the grey, axillae, groins, fore and hind legs whitish; 

 a rather darker mark running across the outer side of the forearm." 

 Horns of female, 155 mm.; height at shoulder, 770 mm. (Thomas, 

 1892, p. 417.) 



This Duiker was first described by Jentink (1885, p. 272), under 

 the impression that it was identical with C. longiceps Gray. He 

 considered it (1888, p. 19) a very rare species, since only three 

 specimens could be procured by the hunters for the Leyden Museum. 



A little below Schieffelinsville, in the triangle formed by the Junk, 

 Du Queah, and Farmington Rivers, arises Sharp Hill, covered with 

 forest and surrounded by swamps. Here all three specimens col- 

 lected for the Leyden Museum were secured. The natives hunt the 

 animals in the rainy season, when they can reach the hill in canoes. 

 A fourth specimen was sighted in the forests near Fali, northwest 

 of Monrovia. (Biittikofer, 1890, vol. 2, pp. 375-376.) 



"Apparently no other collectors [than Biittikofer and Stampfli] 

 have taken specimens, and the range is probably very limited" 

 (Allen and Coolidge, 1930, p. 610) . 



Reports of the species in Sierra Leone remain unverified. 



"It is only reported from Sierra Leone. But according to Captain 

 Stanley it is quite common there." (Hay wood, 19336, p. 24.) 



According to the Colonial Secretary's Office (in litt., July, 1937) , 

 it is said to occur in Sierra Leone, but must be rare. There are no 

 protective measures. 



Miss St. Leger remarks (1936, p. 215) : "Apparently confined to 

 Liberia." 



Partial protection of this Duiker, as a Class B species, is accorded 

 by the London Convention of 1933.
