of a young male Equine Antelope of this form which he had observed in the 
King of Italy’s Menagerie, and illustrated it by exhibiting a coloured 
photograph of the animal, which was subsequently reproduced in the 
Society's ‘Proceedings.’ The animal had been received from Dr. Ori, the 
King’s agent at Khartoum, and on its death was deposited in the Royal 
Zoological Museum of Turin. Sclater’s paper was supplemented by some 
field-notes on this Antelope contributed by Sir Samuel Baker, who also sent 
for exhibition the fine pair of horns of the typical specimen described by 
Heuglin, then in his collection. A figure of them is likewise given in 
Sclater’s article in the ‘ Proceedings,’ which, by the kind permission of the 
Society, we are enabled to reproduce in these pages (fig. 89, p. 25). 
On Nov. 24th, 1878, the Zoological Society of London acquired a young 
male Equine Antelope from Mr. C. Hagenbeck, who stated that he had 
received it along with other animals from Upper Nubia. If this statement 
was correct, which there is no reason to question, this animal was, no doubt, 
an example of Hippotragus equinus bakeri, although it was never recognized 
as such. It lived in the Regent’s Park Gardens until February 23rd, 
1889. 
There was also, about twenty years ago, an Equine Antelope, obtained 
from the same source, living in the Zoological Garden at Berlin. Mr. Clarence 
Bartlett has kindly lent us an excellent water-colour drawing of this 
specimen taken by the late Stanley Wilson. It represents, no doubt, the 
same local form of this Antelope. Mr. Hagenbeck informs us that the Berlin 
specimen was also received by him in one of his consignments from the 
Egyptian Sudan. 
That a representative of the Equine Antelope is likewise found in West 
Africa on the open country traversed by the Upper Gambia has been known 
since Whitfield, as recorded by Gray in 1852, brought home specimens of its 
head and horns. Gray did not then consider these to indicate any difference 
from the Cape specimen of this species in the British Museum. In a sub- 
sequent journey Whitfield also brought home for the Derby Menagerie two, 
or perhaps three, living examples of this Antelope. These were figured by 
Waterhouse Hawkins in three water-colour drawings forming part of the two 
volumes of original sketches by Waterhouse Hawkins and Wolf which are now 
in the Library at Knowsley, and which, by the kind permission of the present 
Earl of Derby, were exhibited and described by Sclater at the meeting of the
