X^ . — Three new Races o/ Cephaloplius luouticola. 

 IJy GiLBiiKT Blaine. 



Cephalophus monticola ludlami, subsp. n. 



A duiker of the monticola group from the Kafue lliver, 

 N.W. llhodesiaj of vhieh seven Hat licadiess skins and two 

 skulls have recently been added to the B.M. Collection. 



They all come from the same locality, viz., the junction 

 of the Lunga with tlie Kafue lliver, N.W. of the Victoria 

 Falls, and are thus far removed from their eastern and 

 southern relatives, nyas<B and monticola. The skins are 

 very alike in general character, though some are rather uiore 

 mfous than others. 



The two skulls, from which the frontals are missing, are 

 tliose of females. The largp.«5t of the two is the size of the 

 typc-speciincn of lujcns, Thos., iil though not yet fully 

 mature. This duiker may therefore be considered a large 

 representative of the group. 



Description. — Skin. Texture of hair hard and shining like 

 lugens. Colour : neck and shoulders mouse-grey, paler 

 below. Dorsal surface umber-brown, darkening towards the 

 rump to dark sepia on either side of the tail. Flanks pale 

 greyish rufous, changing to bright rufous on the hams, and 

 sharply contrasting with the sepia at the rump. Throat 

 and underline of body dusky white. Legs bright rufous. 

 Tail dark sepia above, white beneath. 



The flat skin gives the geneial impression of being lighter 

 and greyer in front, and darker and redder behind. 



Skull. Hrt-adth G'3 mm. ; occiput to nasals 83 : upper 

 tooth-row 31.
