shot-gun, and is delicious eating. One young one is 

 usually produced at birth. 



Pediotragus sharpei. Grizzled or Sharpens Steenbitck. 

 Transvaal Grijsbokje or Schimmel bokje. 



This little animal was confused with the Cape 

 Grijsbuck until some years ago, when specimens were 

 collected and it was seen that it was different, being 

 much smaller, lighter in build, and paler in colour. It is 

 in size and build about on a par with the common 

 Steenbuck, and like it, has no accessory hoofs. It is, 

 however, much darker and redder in tone and has a 

 copious sprinkling of white hairs. Horns very short, 

 from 1 to 2| inches in length. It is fairly common in 

 the more hilly and bushy regions of the Central and 

 Eastern Transvaal. This variety, which Thomas has 

 separated under a new sub-specific name, extends north- 

 wards through Southern Rhodesia, being replaced in 

 Northern Rhodesia and 'Nyassaland, &c., by the typical 

 species. 



Genus NESOTRAGUS. 



Ehinarium practically surrounding the nostrils. No 

 false or accessory hoofs. No knee tufts. Males only 

 horned. 



Nesotragus livingstonianus. Livingstone's Antelope. 



Livingstone Bokje. 

 Inklengana (Amatonga) ; Sithlengone (Swazi). 



Colour rich red-brown ; hairs tipped with paler, giving 

 to the animal a slightly speckled appearance. Insides of 

 the legs and the lower parts from a pure to a dirty white 

 colour. Upper throat, chin, and a small eye-brow, white 

 or whitish. Legs with a black band just above the hoofs.
