paler. Chin blackish, tip of tail black. The male is brighter and darker in 
colour than the female. There are also on the back some patches with 
longer, thicker, almost whitish-buff hair, perhaps remains of the winter fur.” 
Genus CONNOCH ATES. (Vol. I. p. 93.) 
CONNOCHATES TAURINUS JOHNSTONI. 
Connochetes taurinus johnstoni, Sel. P. Z. S. 1896, p. 616, pl. xxvii. 
Under this subspecific name Sclater has shortly described and figured the 
local form of the Brindled Gnu that occurs on the plains of the Shiré High- 
lands, Nyasaland. The difference consists mainly in the generally brownish 
colour of the body, and the broad whitish band across the face beneath the 
eyes. The mane is black or blackish as in C. taurinus typicus, not white as 
in C. albo-sjubatus. 
Some good field-notes on the same animal by Mr. R. Crawshay are 
appended to Sclater’s remarks. 
Genus CEPHALOPHUS. (Vol. I. p. 121.) 
CEPHALOPHUS HECKI. 
Cephalophus hecki, Matsch. SB. Ges. nat. Freund. Berlin, 1897, p. 158. 
Herr Matschie has proposed this name for the geographical form of 
C. monticola (Bk. of Ant. i. p. 191) which occurs in Mozambique. The type 
is an adult male in the Berlin Museum from Mozambique, and there was also 
at the time of the description a specimen living in the Zoological Garden of 
Berlin. 
CEPHALOPHUS LUGENS. 
Cephalophus lugens, Thos. P. Z. 8. 1898, p. 393. 
This is a member of the group of C. monticola, but larger and of darker 
colour than any other of the three species of that section—C. monticola, 
C. melanorheus, and C. equatorialis. The typical specimens were obtained 
by Mr. A. Sharpe’s native hunters in Urori (or Usango), within the frontiers 
of German East Africa, north of Lake Nyasa, at an altitude of about 
3000 feet.
