Type locality, Northern Guaso Nyiro, Ken3^a Colony. This 

 race is apparently distributed over a large part of Kenya Colony, 

 from the Northern Guaso Nyiro and Turkwel River in the north, 

 southwards towards the Tanganyika Territory boundary, where it 

 probably merges with the closely allied race siiara described by 

 Matschie * from the Kilimanjaro District. It may be, that when 

 more material is available for examination, it will be found that the 

 Kilimanjaro and Northern Guaso Nyiro Impalas represent one race, 

 only, in which case the name given by Matschie would have to 

 be adopted for the Impala of Kenya Colony and Tanganjdka
