can only be obtained in the rainy season, and it is said to be quite an excep- 
tion for a specimen to be procured except during that period.” 
In the second volume of Mr. Biittikofer’s ‘ Reisebilder aus Liberia,’ which 
contains a complete account of the explorations and discoveries of himself 
and his companions in that country, will be found some additional details on 
this Antelope. Mr. Biittikofer calls particular attention to the large size of 
the inguinal glands between the belly and the thigh in this Antelope. They 
are so large that they will easily contain a lemon. These are said to be fat- 
glands, from which the beast extracts fat with its muzzle to lubricate its short, 
shining, hairy coat. Mr. Biittikofer also says that this Antelope, although 
only obtained from Sharp Hill, certainly occurs in other parts of Liberia. 
Our figure of this Bush-Duiker (Plate XV.) has been prepared by Mr. Smit 
from the mounted specimen in the British Museum, which is the type of the 
species. It is one of the three specimens obtained in Liberia by Mr. Stampfli, 
the other two remaining at Leyden. We believe that these are the only 
three specimens of this rare Antelope existing in any European museum.
