394 ON MAMMALS FEOM NTASALAND. [May 17, 



Neck uniformly brown, like the back ; the hairs on its middle line 

 above reversed forward. Colour of back gradually darkening 

 posteriorly almost or quite to black, but this darker colour is not 

 shown up by a lighter patch on the outer side of each hip, as it is 

 in G. melanorheus aud ivquatorlaUs, but, as in C. monticola, the hips 

 are uniformly brown. Under surface and inner side of forearms 

 pale mouse-colour, the chin, interramia, and inguinal region whitish. 

 Limbs dark brown like back, not reddish as in C. inonticola. 



Skull slightly larger than in 0. monticola, though the type is 

 immature. Horns (of 5 ) well developed, about an inch in length. 

 Median notch of palate scarcely anterior to lateral notches. 



Skull-dimensions of the type, a female, which, though its milk- 

 dentition is still in place, contained a foetus when killed : — 



Extreme length 131 mm.; basal length 114; greatest breadth 

 62-5 ; nasals 37 x 20 ; breadth of brain-case 49 ; palate length 68. 



Hah. Urori (also called Usango), German East Africa, about 

 8° S. and 34° E. Altitude about 3000 feet. 



Type. B.M. No. 98.5.22.21. Killed October, 1897. 



The foetus, specimen h, extracted from the type by the skinner, 

 is similar to its mother in colour, except that the general tone of 

 the body is not so dark, owing to an admixture of rufous hairs on 

 the back ; the hairs on the inner sides of the ears are also rufous. 

 But the blackish frontal colour, the dark brownish limbs, and the 

 absence of the lighter patches on the back of the hips are all as 

 evident in the foetus as in its parent. 



The specimens of this new species were brought to Mr. Sharpe 

 by his native hunters, who obtained it in Urori, some way north- 

 east of the German frontier of British Nyasaland. 



Oephalo]]hus lugens is very probably the little Antelope referred 

 to by Matschie ' as having been seen by Bohmer near Mpwapwa, 

 where it was known under the name of " Nsimba." 



14. Nesoteagus litingstonianus Kii-k. 



a. Ad. 2 • Mwanza, Lower Shire, 2500 feet, July 1897. 



Native name " Kadumba." Contained a foetus when killed. 



This little Antelope forms a valuable addition to the Museum 

 collection, as it is practically a topotype of Kirk's species, of which 

 the actual type only consists of a very incomplete skull and the 

 skin of the head. That specimen came from Shupanga, a little 

 below the junction of the Shire with the Zambesi.
