to Magdala in 1867-68 and subsequently published an excellent volume 
containing the results of his observations on the geology and zoology of that 
country. Dr. Blanford tells us that this Bush-Antelope is not rare on the 
highlands of Abyssinia at elevations of from 7000 to 8000 feet. He usually 
saw it solitary in the bushes and small clearings and obtained two bucks, one 
at Dildi, the other at Dongolo, of which he gives us the dimensions. These 
specimens (as is recorded by Mr. W. L. Sclater in his ‘ Catalogue’) are now 
in the India Museum, Calcutta. 
The British Museum contains a single adult male specimen of this species 
mounted (together with its skull), upon which Thomas based the name 
abyssinicus. 
Our figure of this species (Plate XXII. fig. 1) was prepared by Mr. Smit 
under the directions of the late Sir Victor Brooke, but from what specimen 
we are unable to say.
