In the year 1894 Dr. von Lorenz (') created the name Alpice- 

 ros (!) melampus holubi for a spécimen of Impala obtained 

 « nôrdlich vom Zambesi ». Those characteristics of this supposed 

 new subspecies which hâve been published are, however, as a rule 

 not coinparable with those of yE. 711. johnstoni as no cranial 

 dimensions are stated. The length and spread at the tips of the 

 horns is similar to the corresponding dimensions of .^. m. john- 

 stoni, and the author himself appears to suspect the identity of 

 « holubi » and « johnstoni ». Fi^om ^. m. katangae Holub's 

 Impala dififers by the greater spread of its horns at the tips, 

 viz. 265 mm.
