Oreotbagus saltatob, Klipspringer. 



The Klipspringer was seen on Entoto Mountain and in 

 Somaliland. 



OuBEBiA MONTANA. The Abyssinian Oribi. 



Abyssinian name, Miivaha. 



The Ourebi is not common on the plateau in the neighbour- 

 hood of Adis Ababa, but we found it sometimes near the road 

 after passing Balchi on our way up to the capital. Captain 

 A. Duff killed one at Jeffi Dunsa two days east of Adis Ababa. 

 After we left Adis Ababa we saw the first in the Akaki Valley, 

 and frequently met with them on the lower ground below Sequala 

 (the great extinct volcano). I shot the first I obtained near Delato, 

 north of Sequala above the Dahom Eiver ; it was one of three (one 

 buck and two does). Near the Hawash they were more numerous, 

 and on crossing the Hawash we found them plentiful in tlie 

 country around Lake Ailan, several small bands of twos and threes 

 up to seven and even nine being seen together. They were feeding 

 either on the fresh grass where the bush had been burnt, or near 

 and on the cultivated patches close to the Galla villages, which are 

 very numerous. On the Upper Hawash I often observed them, . 

 and have seen them feeding with the Eeed-bucks in the grass near 

 Ailaand in the neighbourhood of the Meki Eiver and Lake Zvvai. 

 I also saw them all down the Hawash Valley to Tadijunulka and 

 Awaramulka. When I had shot five specimens in the early part 

 of my trip I never molested them further. I noticed that; they 

 fed and wandered at all hours of the day, occasionally lying down, 

 and I did not see any female with more than one young one. 



The best head I obtained measured 5| inches on the curve. 

 The name Ourehia montana is rather a misnomer, as I found 

 most of them in the flat low country between the Hawash and 

 Zwai. 



Madoqtta phillipsi. Phillips's Dik-Dik. 



Somali name, SaJcaJcaro Qolass. 



The common Somali Dik-Dik was the only one of which I shot 

 any specimens. It extended all the way up the Hawash Valley. I 

 saw a larger Dik-Dik occasionally^ but never got a shot at it. This 

 was j^robably M, saltiana. 



CoBUS DEEASSA. Water-buck. 



Abyssinian name, DefasscL Somali name, BaJango. Galla name, 

 Warahod, which is also used by the Abyssinians and Danakils. 



The fi\e specimens of the Water-lDuck were all obtained in 

 the Hawash Valley. I saw Water-bucks or their tracks on many 

 parts of the Hawash Valley and also on the Meki Eiver, but they 

 are not common in the higher parts of the Haw ash Valley. 



I have seen them usually in small herds ne\'er more than eleven 

 together, more commonly only three or four,
