the “Konze.” He was a little doubtful about its identity with the “ Inkula- 
nondo” of South-eastern Mashunaland; but we believe that both the native 
names last mentioned refer alike to Bubalis lichtensteini. Mr. Selous makes 
the following remarks upon this species (P. Z. 8. 1881, p. 764) :— 
“The Konze very closely resembles the Hartebeest of South Africa; the 
horns, however, are shorter and flatter at the base, and the forehead is not 
nearly so elongated. The black mark down the front of the face of the 
Hartebeest is also wanting in the Konze, where the colour is of a uniform 
light red. The general colour of the animal is a little lighter than that of 
the Hartebeest, the tail, knees, and front of all four legs being black. As 
in the Hartebeest, there is a patch of pale yellow on the rump; and the 
insides of thighs and belly are also of a very pale yellow. One old bull 
that I shot was of very rich dark red colour all along the back and the 
upper part of the sides. About a hand’s breadth behind each shoulder 
- was a patch of dark grey about six inches in diameter. A female that I 
shot also had these grey patches behind the shoulders. In two other full- 
grown males these patches were wanting.” 
Throughout Nyasaland, so far as it has yet been explored, Lichtenstein’s 
Antelope appears to be an abundant species; and Mr. R. Crawshay, our 
principal authority on the Antelopes of this country, tells us (P. Z. 8. 1890, 
p. 663) that it is very generally met with in the hills, if not too steep and 
rocky, and also in the plains, but appears to prefer a flat or undulating woody 
district with intervening open glades. Mr. Crawshay adds the following 
account of his personal experience with this Antelope :— 
“In 1885 I first met with this Antelope on the plains between the Kiwira 
and Insesi Rivers, in Makyusa’s country, at the north-west of the lake; there 
were just three in the troop, and with the help of another gentleman I was 
lucky enough to kill one—a nearly full-grown bull. In 1885 I saw several 
herds of these animals to the south-east of Nyasa, and between it and Lake 
Shirwa, and from all accounts they must be plentiful in the Yao country, to 
the east of the lake, 
“On the West Coast, later in the same year, I came across a good many on 
the Kanjamwana River, and between Amuwa and Mpemba’s: here they 
usually consorted with Impalas; but on the same plains there were also 
to be seen in their company, from time to time, Water-bucks, Reed-bucks, 
and occasionally Koodoos and Elands. Inland from Bana to the north again,
