This (lik-dik is tlie coast or maritime rp[)resentative of 

 M. )iliillii>si. It is palcM- than M. pliiHipsi i\\v\ tin; f^iizzliiiii:

 quarters. The underlying; colour on the shoulders and hind- 

 quarters, which is invaded by tiie grey grizzling, is pale 

 ciniiaiium. 



Down the centre of tlic back the grey grizzle is su6Fused 

 with reddish fawn. 



Hah. I obtained three specimens (skins, without head- 

 skins) of this dik-dik on Guban, near the foot-iiills of 

 the Golis range of mountains, and I propose to name it 

 M. pliiUipsi gubanensis.

 Golis toot-hills, 35 miles south of Berbera. 13. M. no.

Vrry much larger than any of the Somali Madoqure, but 

 smaller than M. saltiana. Rather dark giey grizzling ex- 

 tending on to the shoulders, sides, and hind-quarters, the 

 whole of the back being suffused with reddish fawn. The 

 chest rather reddish buff, which extends oidy a short way on 

 to the throat, unlike M. philUpsi, in which the chesf-jolour 

 extends more or less the whole length of the underpart of the 

 neck. 



The legs are similar in colour to tho>e of M. philUpsi, but 

 get distinctly darker towards the shoulders and liauiieh 's.

Two other specimens were obtained in the same locality 

 by me, and I have taken B.M. no. 9. 6. 1. 50 as the type. 



For this species I have much pleasure in proposing the 

 name Madoqua cordeauxi, in honour of Capt. 11. E. S. 

 Clordeaux, C.13., C.M.G., 11. M. Conunissiuner for the 

 Somaliland Protectorate, whose interest in the fauna of 

 Somaliland is well known.
