494 Mr. E. Scliwaiz on African Ungulates. 



Cephalophula doria, Ogilby. 



Including : — 

 Doria, zehra. 



In addition to the above forms, a species called Cepha- 

 Jophus emini has been described by Prof. Noack. The hairs, 

 for samples of which I am indebted to Prof. Noack, are 

 much thicker than in any species of this group, and most 

 like those of Ourebia. It is, of course, quite impossible to 

 give a definite opinion with regard to the status of this 

 species without examination of the actual specimen.
