of the claims of which to specific separation we are by no means certain. In 
fact, it appears to be doubtfully separable from C. fulvorufula, with which 
Mr. Rothschild did not compare it, and we should not have given it a 
separate heading had it not been for its very wide difference in locality. 
Up to the present time C. fulvorufula has not been found north of the 
Zambesi, while the district of British East Africa in which Mr. Chanler 
shot the type of this species lies nearly under the Equator. 
Our knowledge of the proper position of this Antelope is mainly due to an 
accurate cast of the typical skull prepared by Messrs. Rowland Ward & Co., 
and generously presented by them to the National Museum. 
P.S.—Since this was written Thomas has examined some examples of 
Chanler’s Reedbuck obtained by Mr. F. J. Jackson in British East Africa, 
probably near the Ravine Station, where he is now resident. So far as can be 
made out in their present condition, these specimens are very similar to the 
South-African C. fulvorufula, without special face-markings, and therefore 
confirm our view that C. chanleri cannot be well distinguished from its South- 
African relative.
