Whitfield brought home a single adult female for the Derby Menagerie. 
This was figured in 1842 in two positions by Waterhouse Hawkins on the 
sixth plate of the ‘Gleanings.’ In the text of the ‘Knowsley Menagerie’ 
we are told that Whitfield’s name for it was the ‘“ Coquetoon,” but in the 
plate the native name of the present species is given as “ Sinani,” while that 
of “ Coquetoon” is assigned to C. rufilatus figured in its company, and this 
vernacular name has certainly been more generally applied to the latter 
species. 
We suppose that the Antelope described by Pallas as Antilope grimmia 
from living specimens brought from the Guinea Coast may probably have 
belonged to this species, as may also many references of the older authors to 
an Antilope grimmia from Western Africa. But the true Capra grimmia 
of Linneus, as we shall presently show, refers to another species. 
We cannot find that any modern authority refers to fresh examples of this 
Antelope, and from the immaturity of the available specimens, to which we 
have already referred, we are quite unable to come to any definite conclusion 
as to its relationship. In its general appearance, however, the Crowned 
Duiker has a certain amount of resemblance to C. abyssinicus and C. grimmi, 
and we therefore place it provisionally in its present position. 
The accompanying figure (Plate XXII. fig. 2), probably representing the 
male of this species, was drawn by Mr. Smit for the late Sir Victor Brooke, 
but we are unable to say from what specimen it was prepared. 
August, 1895.
