representations of the skull of the adult male, the skull figured in the previous 
volume having been that of a female. 
In the second volume of his ‘ Reisebilder aus Liberia,’ published in 1890, 
Mr. Biittikofer tells us that he first saw a living example of this species in 
the forest near Soforeh Place, and recognized it, with much delight, as the 
‘‘ Mountain-deer” of which he had heard so much spoken. Here he captured 
a young one alive, and subsequently found the skull of the mother, which was 
wounded but not obtained on that occasion. In his second expedition to 
Liberia, Mr. Biittikofer and his companions procured a full series of examples 
of this beautiful species. Mr. Bittikofer remarks that the weight of a full- 
grown example of this animal ranges from 40 to 50 1bs., and that a specially 
remarkable development in its structure is that of the hairs on the hind edge 
of the tarsus, which form a sort of brush. 
Our figure of this Antelope (Plate XX.) has been prepared by Mr. Smit 
from a stuffed specimen of an adult male in the British Museum obtained on 
the Du Queah River in Liberia during Mr. Biittikofer’s second expedition. 
In the same collection there is a skin of an adult female from the same 
locality, and the skeletons of both these animals. The flat skins which were 
the types of the specific terms “‘doria” of Ogilby and “zebra” of Gray are 
likewise in the National Collection.
