Do7Xoiragiis mcgaloiis (Alenges). The Beira. 

 (Somah name, "Baira."') 



This rare antelope was described by Herr Menges in the ZoologiscJie 

 Afizeigen, vol. xvii. p. 131 (1894). 



Mr. Powell-Cotton obtained four adult specimens and a kid. 



This antelope is most remarkable on account of the semi-globular pads 

 on the underside of the hoofs, of which, however, no mention is made by 

 Messrs. Sclater and Thomas, and Sir Edmond Loder found in his specimens 

 the hoofs much hollowed out. 



Only seen at Arroweina. At Jarso, where Mr. Powell-Cotton crossed 

 the Blue Nile, they were unknown, though the Lovat expedition found them 

 numerous lower down. 



" They are difficult to spot among the jungle ; unless there is time to 

 use the glasses the males cannot be distinguished ; owing to their large 

 ears and general appearance they much resemble overgrown dik-dik."
