276 ON MAMMALS FROM ZULULAND. [Apr. 18, 



most South- African buck, the Duik;er never stands when once pyit 

 tip until it is out of sight. To this it probably owes its existence in 

 many parts, as a native will seldom risk wasting his powder and 

 shot on a running object. It hes down during the day in the 

 patches of thick grass on the hill-sides and feeds from sundown to 

 just before sunrise. It is very destructive to pumpkins and sweet 

 potatoes, but does not touch mealies." — C. H. B. G.

 colouring."— C. H. B. G.
