ZANZIBAR ANTELOPE (Nesotragus moschatus). 



The two elegant little antelopes included in the genus NesotragUs 

 are near relatives of the oribis, from which they are distinguished by 

 the absence of a naked glandular patch below each ear and the want 

 of lateral hoofs. They are further characterised by the horns being 

 directed backwards nearly or quite in the plane of the face, and extend- 

 ing at least as far as the back of the head, as also by the large size of 

 the empty spaces in the skull below the sockets of the eyes, and by the 

 nasal bones. In the present species the horns are short and slender, 

 and the colour, inclusive of the tail-tip, fawn gray. Height at shoulder 

 about 13 inches. 



Distribution. — Islets near Zanzibar and adjacent coast from 

 Kilimanjaro to Mozambique.
