1864.] COLLECTED BY CAPT, SPEKE IN EAST AFRICA. 99 
It will be observed that the only order in which Capt. Speke’s 
specimens form anything like a series is among the Ruminants, 
where sixteen species of Antelopes appear determinable specifically, 
and two others are uncertain. By comparing these with what 
Rippell obtained in Abyssinia, and Dr. Peters in Mozambique, it 
will be seen that the country traversed by Capt. Speke has much 
more resemblance zoologically, as far as its Antelopes go, to the 
latter. This will be seen by the following table, in which Capt. 
Speke’s Antelopes and those that also occur in the other districts 
are placed side by side.
