 Eothschild. 



Described as near akin to nigrifrons and harveyi, but 

 with stouter horns : general colour recalling that of natalensis, 

 being tawny rufous, but rather darker on the back and duller 

 on the neck and shoulder than in that species; crest long 

 and entirely chestnut, thereby differing from harveyi and 

 nigrifrons, as well as natalensis, but darker and redder than 

 general body-colour. Muzzle and nose black, and flecks of 

 black on forehead (in which respect this duiker comes nearer 

 to natalensis than to the other two species); ears white 

 interiorly, with black tips ; throat whitish ; cheeks grey fawn, 

 like upper part of chest ; lower part of latter and under-parts 

 generally blackish fawn, unlike harveyi and natalensis ; groin 

 whitish; lower segments of the limbs, especially in hind- 

 pair, blackish (in this respect resembling nigrifrons and 

 differing from natalensis and harveyi) ; tail rufous on basal 

 portion of upper surface, with a dark line above and long 

 white hairs beneath. 



No specimen in collection.
