Ward's Reedbuck 



indebted for the clearing up of doubts and the settlement of a difficult 

 question. 



This reedbuck is closely allied to the nagor of West Africa (Cervicapra 

 reJuncn). In colour it is of a pale rufous, the under parts white, the 

 front of the face and of the forelegs being usually somewhat darker than 

 the rest of the body-colouring. The average height at shoulder is about 

 28 inches. The horns measure in good average specimens 9 to 10 

 inches, the longest hitherto procured extending to 1 3^ inches. 



The habitat of this interesting species, which links as it were the east 

 and west of the continent, is in East Africa, the type specimen having been 

 procured by Mr. F. J. Jackson from the Mau Plateau. In the article 

 contributed by Mr. Jackson to this volume many details concerning this 

 antelope are given.
