good fortune to bag two good bucks, from which this new 

 species was described. This buck is entirely confined to dense 

 forests or forest-clad watercourses. It is very shy, and owing 

 to the nature of the ground it frequents is very difficult to ap- 

 proach, as the sportsman has great difficulty in moving along 

 silently on account of the ground being thickly covered with 

 dead leaves. Added to this it is very hard to see, as its 

 colour, in the shade, assimilates so closely to its surroundings. 

 It is very solitary in its habits, and I have never come across 

 more than one at a time. 



The Mountain Duyker has so far only been obtained by Dr. 

 Abbot, the American naturalist, who secured one specimen on 

 Kilimanjaro at an elevation of 9,000 to 10,000 ft. It is highly 

 probable that it may also be found at high altitudes on Mounts 

 Kenia, Elgon, and Ruwenzori, and on this supposition I include 

 it as a British East African species. 



BLUE BUCK 



The Blue Buck is a little beast which I have only found 

 in one place in the dense undergrowth of bush in the Witu 

 forest near Lamu. I believe it is also met with in the small 

 forest belts in Uganda. 1 In habits it much resembles the paa 

 (JVeotragus Kirkii and Nanotragus moschatus\ and is known to 

 the natives of I^mu and Witu by that name. 



THE KLIPSPRINGER 



The Klipspringer is only found in rocky broken ground on 

 the slopes of some of the hills and large ' earth boils ' from 

 Teita to Turkwel. It would probably have to be specially 

 sought for, as there is little or no other game to attract the 

 sportsman to its rocky strongholds. 



J The small Celalolophvs from Uganda has lately been described as a new 

 species of C. equatorialis.
