The specimen in the Museum of the London Missionary So- 

 ciety (No. 8 Blomfield Street, Moorfields, formerly in Austin 

 Friars), Case 5, described by Colonel H. Smith under the name 

 of A. Platous, is the size and has the horns and ears of an adult 

 C. Grimmia, but differs in being paler, and having no dark co- 

 lour on the nose or feet ; but it is evidently much bleached. It 

 has certainly no relation to the C. sylvicultrix, with which Co- 

 lonel Smith was afterwards inclined to place it as a variety 

 (see Griff. A. K. Syn. v. 344). 



There are three species which have been called Antilope 

 Grimmia : 



1. The Capra sylvestris africana of N. Grimm, Misc. Cur. 

 Norimb. 1705, 131. t. 13, the authority for Capra Grimmii, Ray, 

 Syn. 80, and Linn. S. N. ed. 10. 70. Moschus Grimmia, Linn. 

 S. N. ed. 12, from the Cape, of a dull grey colour. Probably 

 the Duyker. 



2. Le Grimme of Buifon, H. N. xii. 307. 329. t. 41. f. 2, 3, 

 from a head sent from Senegal by Adanson ; the Antilope Grim- 

 mia of Desmarest, F. Cuvier, and H. Smith, &c. ; the Cephalo- 

 phus rufilatus.
