excellent water-colour drawing of the mother and young, executed by the 
well-known German zoological artist Leutemann, when the young one was 
rather more than a fortnight old. Other Continental gardens have also now, 
or have lately had, living representatives of this beautiful species. In the 
Cologne Gardens, as Dr. Wunderlich kindly informs us, this Antelope has 
bred twice—in April 1896, when the period of gestation was observed to be 
272 days, and in March 1898, when it was reckoned at 281 days. 
Our illustration of the male of this Antelope (Plate LX XIX.) was put on 
the stone by Mr. Smit, under the direction of the late Sir Victor Brooke, about 
twenty years ago, from a water-colour sketch prepared by Mr. Wolf, but we 
have not been able to ascertain from what specimen it was taken. Mr. Smit 
at the same time prepared a wood-block of the head (fig. 91, p. 38), which 
he believes was taken from a specimen lent to Sir Victor by Mr. Selous. 
Besides Harris’s original type specimen to which we have already called 
attention, there are mounted examples of both sexes of this Antelope and a 
mounted skeleton in the British Museum received from Mr. Selous, who 
procured them in Mashonaland. ‘There are also in the National Collection a 
skin of an adult female from Caffreland (Wahlberg), three skins from Nyasaland 
presented by Sir Harry Johnston, and a skin from Lake Mweru presented 
by Mr. Alfred Sharpe, besides several skulls and pairs of horns from different 
localities. 
January, 1899.
