Abyssinian Expedition of 1867-68. He saw it only two or three times, near 
Dolo and Harkhallet, north of Antalo, at an elevation of about 7000 feet 
above the sea-level, where it inhabits bushy ground or high grass. <A buck 
shot by Mr. Blanford was 224 inches high at the shoulder, the mamme were 
four in number, and the suborbital and inguinal glands were well developed. 
We learn from Mr. W. L. Sclater’s ‘Catalogue,’ that one of Mr. Blanford’s 
skins is now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 
Finally Dr. Giglioli includes the Abyssinian Oribi amongst the mammals 
of which specimens have been transmitted to Italy from Shoa by the Italian 
naturalists Boutourline and Traversi. Dr. Giglioli observes that the sexes 
were alike in colour in these specimens, but that the male was rather larger 
in size than the hornless female. 
The head of the “‘ Madoqua” figured by Schweinfurth in ‘Im Herzen von 
Afrika ’ (vol. i. p. 266) was probably taken from an example of this Antelope. 
It was met with along with a species of Duiker in Bongo on the upper 
waters of the Bahr-el-Ghazal, and observed in pairs among the bushes. Its 
native name there is “ Heggolah.” 
In the British Museum there are the skull of an adult male of this species 
and three skins of females from Dembelas, Abyssinia. 
December, 1895.
