During Mr. D. G. Elliot’s East-African expedition of 1896, Mr. Akeley, 
one of his party, obtained two examples of this Antelope on Nasr Hablod 
Mountain, near Hargeisa, in nearly the same district as that just described 
by Sir Edmund Loder. These specimens are now in the Field-Columbian 
Museum at Chicago. : 
The British Museum contains a mounted specimen of an adult male of the 
Beira (from which our figure, Plate LX XV., has been prepared by Mr. Smit) 
and a skin of a female of the same species purchased of Herr Menges, 
besides the two skins obtained by the Somalis for Capt. Swayne, as above 
mentioned, which have been presented to the Museum by Sclater. It 
contains also a skin and complete skeleton of a female of this Antelope 
presented by Capt. P. Z. Cox, as described above. 
September, 1898.
