The Blue Duiker, or ‘‘ Blaauw-bok,” as the colonists of the Cape call it, is 
one of the oldest known Antelopes of South Africa, and still exists, although 
nowhere plentiful, in the wooded districts of the Colony. There has been 
much diversity of opinion as to the specific name by which this animal should 
be correctly called, but we believe we are right in adopting the term monticola 
given to it by Thunberg as long ago as 1789. Thunberg was a distinguished 
naturalist and traveller of the last century, and a favourite disciple of Linnzus. 
During his travels to the Cape, Ceylon, Java, and J apan he amassed a rich 
harvest of plants and animals, which were described in the narrative of his 
journey, and in the memoirs of various scientific societies.
