82 MAMMALIA. 



termaxillary and the width of the nose-hole. There has been a 

 great difficulty about the determination of the species which 

 Col. Hamilton Smith intended under the above name. The 

 imperfect skin which Col. Smith described having lost its hair, 

 has perished, and the skull alone has been preserved. This skull 

 exactly agrees with the skull of the species above described in 

 all its more important characters, but is rather smaller in size ; 

 and the colour of the fur best agrees with Col. Smith's descrip- 

 tion, for he observes that the animal is more ashy beneath, while 

 A. Platous, A. Ptoon and A. mergens are described as white or 

 whitish beneath. 



*** Knees not tufted. Ears moderate, acute. Horns short, 

 conical, thick. 



5. CEPHALOPHUS MADOQUA. The ABYSSINIAN BUSH GOAT. 



Yellowish brown, slightly punctulated with black. Neck yel- 

 lowish. Limbs blacker. Face-streak and feet black. Hair rather 

 rigid, close-pressed, reddish grey at the base; upper part po- 

 lished, yellow brown with dark tips. Forehead reddish.

This species is very distinct from C. coronatus, being darker, 

 and the fur more rigid and close-pressed.

CROWNED BUSH BUCK.

 legs varied, with a few scattered black hairs. Crown light bay. 

 Crest blackish brown, bay in front. Feet and streak up the nose 

 blackish. Inside of ears, chin, throat, chest, belly, and inner 

 side of the legs, whitish. Tip of tail black. Horns short, coni-
