** Qualata e enchu,” yet did not seem at all like the Ayoceros leu- 
copheus, the Bastard Gemsbock of Cape colonists. Its colour was 
quite tawny, marked like the Sable Antelope on the face ; but in the 
whole herd there was not a single one with the dark-coloured hair. 
I suspect this species will be found to combine two distinct animals ; 
else this Antilope is most variable in its colour. 
60. TRAGELAPHUS SYLVATICUS (Sparrm.). 
“<M’pabala”’ of the Bechuanas ; ‘“‘ M’bawala”’ of the regions on 
the Lower Zambesi and Shiré; Quilimane; Luabo; Tete; Batoka 
Valley. 
Occurs either singly, in pairs, or accompanied by its young; fre- 
quents damp plains and thick jungle near water ; when disturbed, it 
makes off to the thickest cover or to some marshy place. In the 
mud-regions of the Zambesi delta its hoofs become lengthened to 
enable it easily to pass in soft wet places. In colour and spotting 
this Antelope varies much. 
61.‘ TRAGELAPHUS SPEKII, Sclater, P. Z. 8.1864, p.103, Pl. XII. 
Native name, “ Nakong.’’ Among papyrus and rushes on the 
Chobe. Askin, with horns and hoofs attached, was given me when 
in that part, although the Antelope was not seen alive. 
62. STREPSICEROS KUDU, Gray. 
Sechuana name, “ Tolo;’”? Lower Zambesi, “‘ Goma.” 
A hill Antelope, never found in the plains common to all mountain- 
ranges ; Lupata; Tete; Kebrabassa; Nyassa; Batoka. 
63. OrEAS CANNA, Gray. 
*‘Tmpofu” of the Bechuanas; ‘‘ Nyakaso”’ of Sena; “Tuka” of 
Shupanga; “Shefu” or “ Jefu”’ of the Manganja. 
South of the Zambesi it is uniform in colour, or, at least, not dis- 
tinctly banded ; the colour varies considerably. It is not uncommon 
in the country behind Shupanga and opposite Mazzaro. Feeds on 
branches and leaves of shrubs. A much finer animal in its wild state 
than in captivity in England. 
64. OrREAS LIVINGSTONII, Sclater. 
This species differs, so far as is known, in nothing but the banding 
on the body. It has not yet been found anywhere south of the 
Zambesi. No specimen of Eland was seen in the Manganja country, 
although the natives had the horns of one. On the plains at the 
foot of the hills, near the junction of the Kafue, but east of that 
river, one showing the striped markings very distinctly was killed 
by us; the same variety was noticed by Capt. Speke in the country 
traversed by him. 
As a species this can hardly be regarded as distinct from the 
former until some better difference has been pointed out : faint mark- 
ing is usual in the Elands of the south, and in the young this is
