ZANZIBAR SUNI (Nesotragus moschatus). 



The two elegant little antelopes included in the genus Nesotragus 

 are near relatives of the oribis, from which they are distinguished by 

 the absence of a naked glandular patch below the ear and the want 

 of lateral hoofs. They are further characterised by the horns being 

 directed backwards nearly or quite in the plane of the face, and ex- 

 tending at least as far as the back of the head, as also by the large 

 size of the open spaces in the skull below the sockets of the eyes, and 

 by the nasal bones. In the present species the horns are short and 

 slender, and the colour, inclusive of the tail-tip, is fawn-grey. Height 

 at shoulder about I 3 inches.
