In the new Museum of the Congo Free State at Tervueren, 

 near Brussels, Mr. Sclater had been able to examine the series of 

 specimens of Antelopes of the Congo Territory, which contained 

 examples of the following species : — 



1. CepTialoplms ma,r%veUi (Lower Congo). 



2. Ceplialophus grimmi (Lower Congo). 



3. Cobus penricei (Matadi). 



4. Cervicapra arnndinum (Lower Congo). 



5. Hippotragus equinus (Lower Congo). 



6. Tragelaphus grains (Lower Congo). 



7. Tragelaphus scriptus (Cataracts of Lower Congo). 



Mr. Sclater had been much gratified with the examination of 

 these specimens, as he had never previously seen a collection of 

 Antelopes from Congoland. He called special attention to the 

 fact of the Waterbuok being Cobus penricii (see ' Book of 

 Antelopes,' ii. p. 113, pi. xxxv.), as this species was previousl}- 

 known only from the southern part of Angola, also to the fact of 

 the Eoan Antelope apparently belonging to the southern form 

 Hippotragus equinus typicus. 



Mr. Sclater gave a short account of his journey to the Cape, 

 from which he had just returned, after an absence of ten weeks. 

 The state of the country caused by the impending war had prevented 

 him from obtaining so many animals as he had hoped to do. But 

 the keeper whom he had taken with him had returned to this 

 country on the Ibth inst. with the following animals, which had 

 been mostly obtained from various friends and correspondents : — 



1 White-tailed Gnu {Connochcetes gnu), S ■ 

 *1 ^o\WaQ\w\. {Cervicapra fidvo-rufula), S- 



2 Dusty Ichneumons {Herpistes pulverulentus). 

 1 Ca))e Crowned Crane (Balearica regidorum ). 



t2 Sflialow's Touracous {Turacus stlialoiri). 

 4 Cape Turtle Doves {Turtur capicola). 

 1 Vultiu'ine Eagle (Aquila verreauxi), 

 1 Tawny Eagle {Aquila ncevioides). 



* New to the Society's Collection. 



i" This beautiful pair of Touracous were captured at Npata, near Mossaniedes, 

 Angola, by one of Mr. W. L. Sclater's correspondents. [They have been well 

 figured by Mr. Frohawk in ' The Field ' (vol. xciv. p. 891, Dec. 2nd, 1899).]
