ANTELOPES 



291 



park-like country on the banks of the river Wami, where I shot 

 several in February 1887. It is, therefore, quite possible that 

 a few range as far north as the river Umba, the boundary line 

 between German and British territory. 



This beast has lately been described as a new species by 

 Dr. Matschi under the name of B. leucoprymnus. 



JACKSON'S HARTEBEEST 



Jackson's Hartebeest, also called ' Kongoni ' by the Zanzibar 

 porters, is first met with near Lake Baringo, and on Mau 

 escarpment west of Lake 

 Naivasha, which is, per- 

 haps, its most southern 

 limit. It is quite the 

 commonest antelope in 

 Turkwel, and also in the 

 undulating country west 

 of Elgeyo, where it is 

 found in the plains, open 

 bush, and thin mimosa- 

 wooded country. 



THE TOPI 



The ' Topi ' is, I be- 

 lieve, not found south - 

 of the Sabaki river. It 

 is, however, the com- 

 monest antelope in the 

 Galla country, and it 

 ranges from the coast 

 right away N.E. to 



Uganda, passing round Butmlis Jacksoni 



to the north of Mount 

 Kenia, but I do not think it is known either in Lykepia or south 



of Lake Baringo.
