264 Great and Small Game of Africa 



Ukamba hills. In one small patch of bush I put up several, and was at 

 once struck by the bright chestnut colour of their backs and legs, but as I 

 was after bigger game at the time, I resisted the temptation of having a 

 few snap-shots with a gun. Later on in the day I returned expressly to 

 get a few specimens, but only managed to bag one adult female and young 

 one. On comparing the skins with the various Madoqua in the Natural 

 History Museum I found one, an adult male, labelled Kilimanjaro and 

 presented by Mr. H. C. V. Hunter, which tallied in every detail with my 

 specimens, but this male was labelled M. kirki, which I feel sure is a 

 mistake. Later on when more specimens have been obtained this little 

 beast will no doubt be found to be quite distinct, and to range from 

 Kilimanjaro up north as far as Nzowi Peak, if not farther.

Madoqua gueniheri. — This is the smallest of the group found in East 

 Africa, and Lake Baringo will probably prove to be the southern limit of 

 its range. In September 1897 I saw several in the dry sandy bush 

 country round Njemps, but only succeeded in bagging one, a fine adult male. 



In August of the same year, whilst passing up the valley between 

 Elgeyu and Kamassia, there were a good many Madoqua, which I have 

 little doubt in my own mind belonged to this species, since those that I 

 obtained farther north and north-east in Ngoboto and Turkwgel in 1890 

 were beyond a doubt M. guentheri.
