HA R VE Y'S D UIKER 1 5 3 



Proceedings for 1903, vol. i. p. 226, is allied to CepJialopJius weynsi 

 and C. johnstoni in colour and general characters, but differs from both 

 in the hair of the nape of the neck being directed backwards. 



Medium in size, with a fine, close, glossy coat, this species has the 

 general colour of the upper-parts bright rufous or bay, darkening on 

 the neck and shoulders to dull brownish. The hair of the forehead is 

 mixed rufous and black ; while the crown and back of the head are 

 of the same bright rufous as the back, with the surmounting tuft 

 tending more to chestnut. The muzzle is blackish ; the lips and chin 

 are white ; the ears dark brown externally and white on the margins 

 and inside ; and the throat is rufous. The middle line of the under- 

 parts is brown, shading into rufous on the flanks, and passing into 

 white between each pair of legs. From the rufous shoulders and 

 thighs the colour gradually darkens to the lower segments of the legs, 

 which are brown, but nearly black above the hoofs. The tail is rufous 

 above and white beneath, with a brown and white tuft at the tip. 



HARVEY'S DUIKER 



(CepJiahpJius harveyi) 

 (PLATE vi, fig. 3) 



Named after Sir Robert Harvey, and a native of the Kilimanjaro 

 district, this duiker belongs to the same subgroup as CephalopJius 

 ignifer, but is distinguished by the black forehead and the absence of 

 chestnut in the head-tuft. In general appearance it is very like the 

 black-faced species ; but the horns are larger and stouter, especially at 

 the basal portion of their front surface, the maximum recorded length 

 being 3^ inches. 



ROBERTS'S DUIKER 



(Ceplialoplius robertsi) 



A duiker from Portuguese East Africa described by the Hon. 

 Walter Rothschild on p. 691 of the Zoological Society's Proceedings 

 for 1906 under the above name is stated to be nearly related to 

 harueyi, castaneus, callipygus and natalensis, but to differ from all in 

 being quite uniformly orange-chestnut, of a much paler, yellower, 

 and brighter shade. Locality suggests that Troucssart's Cephalophus 

 natalensis vassei (see p. 149) is identical with this species.
