Mr. Powell-Cotton says : •• I first saw tliem near Kc)gi,'e, on the road to 

 Adis Ababa. I noticed none at Ttirkogogo, but the\- are foinid at Zoquala, 

 in the Hawash valley, due south of the capital. 



" After I started north, the first place they were met with was one march 

 from Dungoler on 27th Marcli 1900. The natives said there were none to 

 the south, but that I sliould find many more to the north, which proved 

 to be the case. 



"They are found in both the highland and low, hot country; the coat 

 being lighter in colour and naturally much shorter in the latter. 



" Most often in couples, generally two females, though sometimes a pair ; 

 little groups of three, four, and five fairly frequent. 



" Nearly always among bush ; have a trick of sneaking off when they 

 first catch sight of danger, and lying down in the first little bit of cover 

 available, where they could often be made out lying with the head close to 

 the ground. 



•■Wilder and more difficult to get near than duiker.''
