his second journey in 1892, of which he has given an excellent account in — 
the ‘ Geographical Journal’ for 1893 *, Mr. Sharpe first encountered specimens 
of this Waterbuck, of which he ‘sent to Sclater the following particulars :— 
“The first time I saw this Waterbuck I was close to Lake Mweru on 
Fig. 31. 
Skull and horns of Cobus crawshay?.

my second journey there (Sept. 1892). I was only one day’s march from 
Crawshay’s Station + on the Lake, in a piece of rather dense bush, when my 
boys pointed out some beasts to me. From their bluish colour I thought at 
first they were buffaloes, but, on approaching nearer, I saw that they had 
the horns and general appearance of the Waterbuck (Cobus ellipsiprymnus) so 
common in Nyasaland. They were, however, not the Common Waterbuck, 
as, besides being much darker, they had no white ring on their buttocks. 
Before I could get a shot, however, they were away.
