Varrlon's Antelope was found occasionally by Mr. Sharpe about 

 the south end of Lake Tanganyika, and in vast numbers on the route 

 between Tanganyika and Lake Mocro. It goes in large herds ^ 



I exhibit a fine pair of horns of this species procured by 

 Mr. Sharpe.

Mr. Sharpe brings a flat skin of what is apparently a male of this 

 Antelope, hitherto not known to occur so far north. He gives me 

 the following notes on it : — 



"This Antelope is found in a piece of thick scrubby country 

 bordering the Moanza, which enters the Shire on the right bank 

 near the Murchison cataracts. I have never seen it alive myself, 

 but have heard of it frequently from the natives, by whom it is 

 called ' Bo' — the o being pronounced very long. 



" It frequents the thick scrub, and only occasionally comes out to 

 the edges of the grass-flats. 



" I have never heard of it in any other part of Nyassaland."

I have now the pleasure of exhibiting the skull and scalp of an 

 apparently new Antelope of the genus Bubalis, which I propose to 

 name B. swaynei, after Capt. H. G. C. Swayne, R.E., who has 

 kindly furnished me vi^ith the specimen. 



The existence of an Antelope of this form in Northern Somali- 

 land has long been known to me {cf. P. Z. S. 1885, p 932), but it 

 is only within the last few days that I have succeeded in obtaining 

 specimens of it. 



In a series of Mammals from Somaliland lately received from 

 Capt. Swayne are a good adult skull and head-skin of what he terms 

 the "Hartebeest" or " Sig " of the Somalis. One glance at this
