34 WROUGIITON, Collection of Mammals from Rhodesia, 



[Connochaetes taurinus (The blue Wildebeeste)]. 



" ' Nyumbu ' of all the local tribes. 



" This animal occurs very sparingly in the Loangwa 

 Valley, especially to the north. I found it exceedingly 

 shy and only obtained one specimen, a female."

[Cephalophus sylvicultor (The yellow-backed Duiker)]. 



" ' Chikwinti ' of the Alamba. 



" Appears to occur sparingly near the Upper Kafue. 

 From a very circumstantial native story one specimen 

 appears to have been recently trapped on the banks of 

 the Loangwa River. It seems to be a very shy animal, 

 inhabiting for the most part dense jungle."

[Cephalophus natalensis (The red Duiker)]. 



" ' Guapi ' of the Chikunda, ' Insia ' of the Asenga. 



" This little buck is common all over the country. It 

 seems to prefer somewhat wooded districts." 



Cephalophus nyasae. 



Cephalophus nyasce, Thos., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (7), vol. 9, 

 p. 58, 1902. 

 The specimen does not altogether agree with typical 

 nyasce especially in skull characters but neither does it 

 agree with the description of nyasce defrzesi, Rothsch. 

 This subspecies is based on specimens from the country 

 between Mwaru and Tanganyika and also from the Kafue 

 River, while typical nyasce is from Mlanje, British Central 

 Africa, so that geographical considerations are here no 

 good in choosing a name. With only one specimen and 

 without having seen the type of defriesi I prefer to 

 call this specimen nyasce.
