As already stated in our remarks on the preceding species, we are by no 
means satisfied as to the specific difference of the Steinbok of East Africa 
from the corresponding form met with south of the Zambesi. But until 
further evidence on this point is available we will not dissent from the views 
of Herr Matschie, who has decided that the East-African form is distinct, 
and has proposed to call it after Herr Oscar Neumann, to whom the Berlin 
Museum is indebted for its specimens. 
Herr Neumann, who has recently returned from a most successful expedi- 
tion, in which he traversed unexplored portions of German East Africa up to 
Lake Victoria and returned through British territory, met with this Antelope, 
as he kindly informs us, in Northern Ugogo, Iranga, Usandawe, and near 
Mount Gurui. He describes its habits as almost like those of Madoqua kirki 
and Cephalophus harveyi, with which it is often found in company in the 
thinly-bushed districts. But it also occasionally goes out into the open 
prairies, and then lies concealed in the tall grasses like the Reed-bucks. Its 
Swahili name is given as ‘ Dondoro.’
