This species varies greatly in the intensity of the colours and in the extent of the black on the feet and 
nose. In one young specimen in the British Museum the black on the nose is quite deficient ; though it 
has the bright colouring of the breeding-season, and is bright bay on the crown. 
The specimen in the Museum of the London Missionary Society (No. 8 Bloomfield Street, Moor- 
fields, formerly in Austin Friars), Case 5, described by Colonel H. Smith under the name of Platous, is 
the size and has the horns and ears of an adult C. Grimmia, but diflfers in being' paler, and having no dark 
colour on the nose or feet ; but it is evidently much bleached. It has certainly no relation to the C. syhi- 
cultrix, w\i\\ which Colonel Smith was afterwards inclined to place it as a variety (Syn. v. 344). 
There are three species which have been called Antllope Grimmia : — 
1. The Capra syhestris africana of N. Grimm, Misc. Cur. Norimb. 1705. 131. t. 13, the authority for 
Capra Grimmii, Ray, Syn. 80, and Linn. S. N. (ed. 10) 70. Moschus Grimmia, Linn. S. N. ed. 12. from 
the Cape, of a dull grey colour. Probably the Duyker. 
2. Le Grimme of BnfFon, H. N. xii. 307. 329. t. 41. f. 2, 3, from a head sent from Senegal by Adan- 
son ; ikx^.Antilope Grimmia of Desmarest, F. Cuvier, and H. Smith, &;c. ; the Cephalophus rufilatus. 
3. The A. Grimmia of Pallas, with large ears and a black streak to the horns, like C. Campbellice, but is 
from Guinea. I know of no species common to the W. and S. coast of Africa, so that it is probably yet to 
be distinguished. 
The Fitomha" or Philantomha" appears to be the generic name of all the W. African Cephalophi or 
Bush Antelopes. 
The Black-faced Philantomba. Cephalophus Campbellice. 
Grey and black grisled, beneath white ; cheeks, neck and chest yellowish ; forehead yellow, with a 
black streak on the nose widening on the forehead and ending in a tuft behind the horns ; feet and 
front of fore-legs reddish black ; fur soft ; hair grey, with black ring and tip ; ears elongate acute. 
Antilope Grimmia, Pallas, Spic. Zool. xii. 18. t. 1 ? — C. Burchellii, var. (C. Camphellice), Gray, Cat. B. M. 162. 
— C. Camplellia, Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 1846, 164. 
Inhabits S. Africa. Brit. Mus. 
We have an adult female of this species sent us as A. mergens, var. Burchellii, by M. Sundevall (the 
other specimen of the same name being a true Duyker), and a young specimen which has been in the British 
Museum for several years, sent from Africa, under the generic name of Philantomba, by Mrs. Campbell. 
This species is at once known from the Duyker by being much darker and distinctly grisled or dotted, 
and the under side being much whiter. 
The A. Grimmia of Pallas, Spic. Zool, i. 18. t. 3, which he describes as grey grisled, becoming brown- 
ish ash on the buttocks ; throat, chest and beneath the body white ; head and neck yellowish grey ; a black 
streak beween the horns, forming a fascia on the forehead and broader on the nose ; fur softer than the 
Deer, but rough, of lower part of the neck rougher and more lax ; feet and line on fore-legs blackish ; tail 
black above ; ears rather acute : inhabits Guinea ; agrees in most respects with this species, but most pro- 
bably is yet to be procured from W. Africa. 
*** Knees not tufted; ears moderate, acute ; horns short, conical, thick. 
The Abyssinian Bush Goat. Cephalophus Madoqua. 
Yellowish brown, slightly punctulated with black 5 neck yellowish ; limbs blacker ; face-streak and 
feet black; hair rather rigid, close-pressed, reddish grey at the base, end polished yellow brown, 
with dark tips ; forehead reddish. 
Antilope Madoqua, Rupp. Abys. t. 7. f. 2.— Sundevall. — Madoqua, Bruce's Travels, vii. 360. t. 56. 
Inhabits Abyssinia. Mus. Frankfort. 
This species is very distinct from C. coronatus, being darker, and the fur more rigid and close-pressed. 
The Red-crowned Bush Buck. Cephalophus coronatus. Tab. VI. 
Pale yellowish brown ; middle of back and front of fore-legs varied with a few scattered black hairs ; 
crown bright bay ; crest blackish brown, bay in front ; feet and streak up the nose blackish ; 
inside of ears, chin, throat, chest, belly and inner side of legs whitish ; horns short, conical ; ears 
about half as long as the head, acute. 
Cephalophus coronatus. Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. x. 1842, 266. 1846, 164. 
Inhabits W. Africa; Gambia, Macarthy's Island. Mr. Whitfield called it The Coquetoon. Brit. Mus. 
There is an adult female in the collection of the Earl of Derby ; a nearly adult male and two young 
females in the collection of the British Museum ; the two latter were brought by Mr. Whitfield with the 
female before-mentioned and here figured.
