The Tufted Beisa extends south of the British Protectorate far into the 
interior of German East Africa. 
Herr Matschie, in his valuable volume on the Mammals of the German 
Protectorate, includes this Antelope in his list, and gives a figure of it in 
the text. He tells us that it was met with in Southern Masailand, south-east 
of Irangi, by Stuhlmann, and in Northern Ugogo, between Mpapwa and 
Usandawe, by Neumann. This, so far as we know, gives its furthest extension 
south. Weare not aware that the Tufted Beisa has ever been imported alive 
to Europe. 
The typical head of Orya callotis already mentioned is the only example 
of this form of Oryx in the collection of the British Museum. 
May, 1899.
