Cephalophus abyssinicus hindei Wroughton. 



Wroughton: Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 8, Vol. V, 1910, p. 273. 



A fine male Duiker shot at Punda Melia V^ 1911 agrees with Wrottghton's 

 description (1. c). It can be added that the present .specimen has a blackish spot 

 on either side of the white chin. 



As Wroughton had a young male as type, and in addition to that a skull of 

 an old male, the following measurements of my specimen may be of value for com- 

 parison. 



Greatest length of skull 167 mm. 



Condylobasal length 158 » 



Basicranial length . . 146 » 



Greatest width of skull 74,7 » 



Length of nasals 60 » 



Length of palate (mesially) 82,6 » 



Length of upper molar series 47 » 



Muzzle in front of premolars 50 » 



Length of horn in straight line 110 »

Strange to say the little »Suni» does not appear to be recorded in the scientific 

 literature further in land than from the Kilimanjaro district except that J. A. Allen 

 recently has mentioned a specimen from the Kijabe. In his book »The Game Ani- 

 mals of Africa* (London 1908) Lydekker says that its distribution on the main-
