Besides Mr. Du Chaillu, the only travellers who have met with this 
beautiful Antelope in its native wilds appear to have been Messrs, Biittikofer 
and Stampfli, during their well-known researches in Liberia. From 
Dr. Jentink’s article upon the mammals collected during their explorations 
we learn that these naturalists obtained a complete specimen of an adult 
male of this species near Hill Town, besides two skins on the Junk River and 
the Mahfa River. In the second volume of his ‘ Reisebilder aus Liberia’ 
Heer Bittikofer gives a figure of the Antelope in the text, and informs us 
that it lives in the forests and feeds principally upon leaves of trees, on 
which it browses up to a height of eight feet. 
Besides the typical specimens of Ogilby’s Antilope eurycerus and Du 
Chaillu’s Tragelaphus albo-virgatus, which, as already mentioned, are now in 
the British Museum, the National Collection contains a good mounted head 
of an adult male of this Antelope from Fantee, which is accompanied by a 
flat body-skin, and the mounted skeleton of an adult male from Gaboon. 
We are not aware that any living examples of the Broad-horned Antelope 
have ever reached Europe. 
Our figure of this species (Plate XCI.) has been drawn by Mr. Smit from 
the mounted specimen in the British Museum. 
November, 1899.
