KIRK'S DIK-DIK (Madoqua kirki).

 one containing M. saltiana by the presence of three lobes to the last 

 tooth of the lower jaw, and likewise by the more decidedly trunk-like 

 character of the muzzle. Of the other members of the group, M. 

 damarensis differs by its superior size, and M. guentheri by the still 

 greater development of the trunk. Weight about 7 Ibs. They form 

 the sub-genus Rhynchotragus. 



Distribution. East Africa, from Southern Somaliland to Ugogo, most 

 numerous on the coast.
