by Mr. D. G. Elliot in the course of his recent expedition to Somaliland, and 
a series of specimens of this Antelope obtained on that occasion has been 
mounted in characteristic attitudes in one of the large show-cases of the 
Field-Columbian Museum at Chicago. Mr. Elliot has kindly sent us some 
photographs of this interesting group, which show the male, female, and 
young, and their peculiar manner of feeding. 
The Gerenuk is represented in the British Museum by a fine mounted 
pair obtained by Herr Menges in the neighbourhood of Berbera, from which 
our illustration of both sexes (Plate LX XIV.) has been prepared by Mr. Smit. 
There are also four other skins of both sexes, purchased of Herr Menges, 
and the skin figured by Sclater (P. Z.S. 1884, pl. xlix.), which was presented 
to him by Herr Hagenbeck, but was likewise originally procured by 
Herr Menges. In the National Collection there are also a skin and skull 
of a male of this Antelope from Burao Wells, Somaliland, presented by 
Mr. T. W. H. Clarke, another skin and skull from the hills south of Berbera, 
presented by Capt. J. R. Harkness, R.A., and a mounted skeleton from 
Somaliland, obtained by purchase. 
From the southern part of its range the British Museum has one of the 
original skulls from the River Juba district upon which the species was 
founded, and three skulls and some separate horns from the extreme south 
of the Somali coast, obtained by Sir Jobn Kirk. 
September, 1898.
