XXXII. — A new Dik-Dik from British East Africa. 

 By Oldfield Thomas. 



Among the specimens contributed by Dr. 8. L. Hinde to the 

 National Museum is a fine Dik-Dik from Kitui, and this 

 appears to differ so much from the ordinary Madoqua Kirkii 

 of East Africa as to deserve at least subspecific distinction. 

 It may be called 



Madoqua Kirkii Hindei^ subsp. n. 



Size rather larger than in true J/. Kirkii. Coloration 

 much more fulvous throughout. Mesial area of back bright 

 grizzled fulvous, very different to the dull yellowish grey of 

 M. Kirkii. 8ides brighter and clearer fulvous than in 

 M. Kirkiiy and the belly even, at least laterally, is strongly 

 suflused with the same colour. Legs deep reddish fulvous. 

 White eye-markings well defined and conspicuous. Long 

 hairs of crest deep reddish fulvous for their basal three fourths, 

 their tips deep black. Ears with the upper half of their 

 anterior margins edged with black externally.
