Nyasa and Maxwell's Duikers 227 



Society for 1898, p. 393, as "a member of the C. monticola group (blue 

 duiker), but larger and darker coloured than any in the three species 

 of that group, C. monticola, melanorrheus, and cequator talis." The general 

 colour above is dark umber brown ; forehead and top of muzzle nearly 

 black ; crest, which is much larger than usual in this group, quite black ; 

 sides of face brown, the lines over eyes brownish white ; neck brown ; 

 back darkening posteriorly almost to black. Under surface and inner 

 side of forearms pale mouse- colour ; limbs dark brown like the back, 

 not reddish, as in C. monticola. These are from Mr. Thomas's descriptions. 

 The female carries horns. The habitat of the Nyasa duiker is described 

 by Mr. Sharpe as Morori, also called Usango, German East Africa. This 

 region is some way north-east of the German frontier of British Nyasaland. 

 The antelope's range is stated to extend to an altitude of about 3000 feet.

Fulintongue of the Liberians

This duiker is considerably smaller than C. nigcr or C. doria, and stands 

 14 inches at the shoulder. Its colour is, from Messrs. Sclater and Oldfield 

 Thomas's description, 1 " uniform slaty brown, becoming paler below and on 

 the inner side of the limbs. Superciliary streaks whitish. Ears small and 

 rounded, behind dark brown. Rump and backs of the hams uniform with 

 the body, except that just at the base of the tail on each side, and on the 

 top of the proximal half of the tail itself, the colour is rather darker. 

 Rest of the tail, above brown, beneath whitish ; limbs externally like that 

 of the body. Horns set up at a slight angle above the nasal profile, but 

 not nearly so much as in C. grimmi; those of male short (about 2 inches
