930 MU. u. I. roc'ocK o\ Tin: [June 14, 



from Unyoro in Uganda, which was jn-eserved in spirit and kindly 

 given to nie by Dr. Cuth1)ert Christy, FZ.S. It had no preorhital 

 glands, but two pairs of well-develojieil inguinal glands i'eseinl)ling 

 those of Cervicapra redunca, the pockets of tlie anterior pair lieing 

 shallow but wide-mouthed, and those of the posterior pair deeper 

 with circular orifice somewhat less in diameter than the diameter 

 of the pocket itself, l^etween the oriiices of the inguinal pockets 

 were the two })airs of teats, 'l.'he early develo})ment of the in- 

 guinal glands is a fact of considerable interest. 



There was no trace of pedal glands and only a very shallow and 

 short depression on the anterior surface of the fetlock close to the 

 base of the hoofs. The interungual ai'ea was naked as in 2'aiiro- 

 trai/K.s, and the web was deep, extending from near the proximal 

 end of the front of the hoof to the heels. 



I have also examined the head, feet, and skin of the inguinal 

 region of a young male of T. scrijyiKs scriptus from Ficiich 

 Guinea, presented to the Society by IVIr, Fenwick Owen, This 

 material was preserved in alcohol. The feet were constructed as 

 above described, and there was no pi'eorbital gland. There were 

 two pairs of teats, but only a single pair of inguinal glands, each 

 consisting of a poiich about an inch deep opening by an orifice 

 some distance away from, and in front of, the mamma' of the 

 anterior pair (text-tig, 11(5, C, p. 922). I think it probable that 

 these glands correspond to the deep posterior pair, and not to 

 the shallow anterior pair observed in the fcetal example above 

 desci'ibed. 



I also received from Mr. E. Gerrard the dried front and hind 

 feet of a Bushbuck, probably belonging to T. so'iptus rouale)/n>. 

 which also hatl no trace of pedal glands ; but in which I was able 

 to discover the shrivelletl remains of the vascular gelatinous 

 (fatty) mass lying along the back of the pastern between the true 

 and false hoofs, which has been already described in Cervicapra 

 redunca and Adenola koh. 



TllAGELAPHUS ANGASII Angas. 



(The Inyala.) 



Of this species I received from Messrs. Rowland Ward, Ltd,, 

 a single dried foot of a male, which diftered in no important 

 respects from the foot of T. scriptas, except that the naked 

 shallow de})ression at the base of the hoofs on the front of the 

 pastern was obliterated and the hoofs themselves wei'e shorter 

 with higher heels, suggesting the habit of Avalking on fii-mer 

 ground.

As stated above, W, L. Sclater .says the preorbital gland is 

 present in the .southern race of L. (jratiis, namely, /,. grains 

 selousi Roths., the true Hitatunga.
