Skull K. — In the Tervueren Museum (Musee du Congo), Belgium ; the skull of a 

 complete skeleton, No. 489. Said to be female, adult. Locality : Ituri Forest. This 

 skull is figured by C. I. Forsyth Major, ' Proc. Zool. Soc.,' 1902, vol. ii, p. 342, text-fig. 

 63, and by J. Fraipont, ' Annales du Musee du Congo, Zool.,' ser. 2, vol. i, " Okapia," 1907, 

 plates v and vii. The figure of Skull K in Plate 16 is from Forsyth Major's figure. 

 Although obtained at the same time as skin No. 488, now at Rome (see Plate 33, fig. 1), 

 the skeleton No. 489 is apparently from a different animal (see Fraipont, p. 14, paragr. 5). 

 Skull L.— In the British Museum; Reg. No., 7.12.26.1 ; a cast of a skull in the 

 Tervueren Museum (Musee du Congo), Belgium; the skull of a complete skeleton, 

 No. 480. Said to be male, adult. Locality : Mundalah, on the road from Mawambi to 

 Beni. The skull is figured by C. I. Forsyth Major, ' Proc. Zool. Soc.,' 1902, vol. ii, 

 p. 73, text-fig. 7, and p. 343, text-fig. 64 ; by E. Ray Lankester, ' Trans. Zool. Soc.,' 

 vol. xvi, 1902, p. 304, text-fig. 15 ; and by J. Fraipont, • Annales du Musee du Congo, 

 Zool.,' ser. 2, vol. i, " Okapia, " 1907, plates iii, iv, and vi, and text-fig. 46 on page 40 bis. 

 A figure of the extremity of the ossicone is given by E. Ray Lankester, ' Proc. Zool. 

 Soc.,' 1907, p. 126, text-fig. 49. Skull L is the type of Okapia liebrechtei, Major. The 

 distinctive characters of the species are given in ' La Belgique Coloniale,' Ann. viii, 

 No. 45, November 9th, 1902, p. 533 ; but the figure of the skull in the ' Proc. Zool. Soc.,' 

 1902, vol. ii, p. 73, illustrating remarks made by Dr. Forsyth Major at the Society's 

 meeting on June 3rd, 1902, and published in October, 1902, bears the name Okapia 

 liebrechtsi, Maj., and stands as the basis of the species. The skin mentioned by Dr. 

 Forsyth Major on the same occasion is now mounted in the Stockholm Museum. The 

 right fore and hind legs of this are shown in Plate 39, fig. 1. 



Skull M. — In the Zoological Museum of the University of Rome. Sex doubtful, 

 adult. Locality : Ituri Forest. The skull of a complete skeleton described and figured 

 by A. Carruccio, 'Boll. Soc. Zool. Ital.,' ser. 2, vol. iv, 1903, pp. 1—20 and 101—116, 

 and vol. vi, 1905, pp. 177 — 190. The skeleton is apparently not that of the same animal 

 as the skin mounted at Rome, of which the legs are figured in Plate 33, fig. 1. Accord- 

 ing to J. Fraipont (' Annales du Musee du Congo, Zool.,' ser. 2, vol. i, " Okapia," 1907, 

 p. 14, paragr. 5 and 6) the skin given to the King of Italy is No. 488 and the skeleton 

 No. 500. The figure of Skull M in Plate 16 is from a photograph supplied by the 

 University of Rome. 



Plate 17. 



Skull N. — In the Madrid Museum; the skull of a complete skeleton, apparently the 

 skeleton corresponding with the skin No. 536 mounted in the Tervueren Museum, of 

 which the legs are figured in Plate 37, fig. 2. See J. Fraipont, 'Annales du Musee du 

 Congo, Zool.,' ser. 2, vol. i, " Okapia," 1907, p. 14, parag. 10. Skull N is without horns, 

 and clearly does not correspond Avith the horned skin mounted in the Madrid Museum 

 (skin No. 705a of J. Fraipont, p. 14, fig. 7), of which the legs are figured in Plate 34, fig.
