In German East Africa, Herr Matschie informs us that Cumming’s Bush-

Capt. Swayne has referred the Bushbuck of the Webbe to 7. decula, but 
this is certainly not correct, as, according to his own description, it has “ four 
or five white stripes, and sometimes as many as thirty white spots.” In some
