but very little is known of it to European sportsmen. In The Book of 

 Antelopes the height of a male is stated to be 22 inches ; horns of male, 

 4 inches ; of female, i-J inches. 



Peters's Duiker [Cephalophus callipygus) 



Another duiker from the bush and forest regions of the Gaboon, 

 first identified and named by Dr. Peters in 1876. Of medium size; 

 general colour yellowish brown, rufous towards the posteriors and upon 

 the forehead and crest. Under parts pale yellowish gray ; chin and 

 throat white. A dark dorsal line runs from the withers towards the tail, 

 widening out and covering the tail, hams, and back parts of the legs ; 

 haunches rufous. A rare species, unknown in England, and one specimen 

 only having been procured by Dr. R. Bucholz during a journey in West 

 Africa in 1874. 



The Red-Flanked Duiker {Cephalophus rufilatus) 



This is a small duiker standing about 14 inches only at the shoulder, 

 known in West Africa from Senegambia to the Niger, and probably 

 most plentiful in the bush and forest country of Sierra Leone. The 

 general body-colour is orange-rufous. The front of the face, dorsal stripe, 

 tail and limbs are of a bluish gray, while the crest is black ; the under 

 parts paler ; throat whitish. Several specimens of this elegant little 

 duiker have been exhibited in the gardens of the Zoological Society. It 

 is fairly well known to sportsmen of Sierra Leone, the Gambia, Ashanti 

 and the Gaboon. H. A. Brvden.
