and there is a head in the British Museum obtained by Sir John 

 Kirk on the river Juba\ We have also the present head now 

 before us, obtained in the Tana valley ; and the " Senegal Antelope " 

 is enumerated among those "seen up the Tana" by Sir Robert 

 Harvey and his party in Sir John Willoughby's 'East Africa and its 

 Big Gkme ' (p. 283).

Prof. G. B. Howes, F.Z.S., exhibited some specimens of Hatteria 

 showing the " pro-atlas " and vomerine teeth, and made the following 

 remarks thereon : — 



" Pro-atlas." — His attention had been recently called, in conver- 

 sation with Mr. Bouleuger, to a specimen of Hatteria in which the 

 "pro-atlas" was present only on the left side. The specimen in 

 question was dissected by Mr. Ridewood, and was now among the 

 exhibits in the index collection of the Natural History Museum. 

 As the "pro-atlas" was present only on the left side in Albrecht's 



1 Sir John Eirk writes to me, in reply to inquiries about this specimen, as 

 follows : — 



" The Senegal Antelope, so far as I know, is first found on the east coast, to 

 the north of the river Sabaki at Malimdi. It is common at Merereri in 

 Formosa Bay, where it might be seen every day when I was shooting there. It 

 was also common between Lamu and the river Juba, where I first shot it. So 

 far as I am aware it does not exist anywhere on the coast south of the Sabaki, 

 but may be found further inland. In the Kilimanjaro district it is replaced by 

 Alcelapkus cokii, and in the country opposite Zanzibar by the (so-called) A. 

 lichtensteini, which, however, I suspect is not the same as A. lichtensteini, Peters, 

 of the Zambesi region." — P. L. S.
