ike to bag two good bucks, from which this new 
es 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 
' lead 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 
nia, Elgon, and Ruwenzori, and on this supposition I include 
Lit as a Satish 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.'! In habits it much resembles the paa 
_ (Neotragus Kirkii and Nanotragus moschatus), and is known to 
| the natives of Lamu and Witu by that name. 
THE KLIPSPRINGER 
_ __ The Klipspringer is only found in rocky broken ground on 
onli ag 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 
4 Sportsman to its rocky strongholds.
