Mr. Thomas considers that the Zululand form of Livingstone’s 
Antelope should be separated from the typical form found on 
the Zambezi, and proposes to call it Nesotragus lavingstonianus 
zuluensis. It differs from the typical form in being of a generally 
grizzled fawn colour instead of deep rufous, while the fetlocks 
are only indistinctly blackish behind, instead of being pro- 
minently black all round.
