dealers and had no definite localities attached to them. But we are able to 
supply some indications of the range of this species from museum specimens. 
In the British Museum, besides Whitfield’s stuffed specimen from the 
Gambia already alluded to, there is the skull of an adult animal from the 
same locality obtained by Sir Gilbert Carter, and a young skull, which has 
probably been correctly referred to this species from the Niger, obtained by 
Surgeon Baikie. In the Leyden Museum, as we find by Dr. Jentink’s 
Catalogue, there is an adult female specimen procured at Dabocrom, in 
Ashantee, by the collector Pel, and an adult male from Sierra Leone received 
from the Bremen Museum. In reference to Pel’s specimen, Temminck has 
informed us that this species is rare on the Guinea coast, but more common 
in the forests of Sierra Leone. We also find this species recorded by Herr 
Matschie as one of the Antelopes met with by the collectors of the Berlin 
Museum in the German Protectorate of Togoland. We may therefore 
conclude that the Red-flanked Duiker inhabits the whole coast-land of 
Western Africa between the British Settlement of Gambia and the River 
Niger. : 
Our figure of this species (Plate XIX. fig. 1) was prepared under Sir Victor 
Brooke’s direction, very probably from one of the specimens in the Liverpool 
Museum.
