Transvaal specimens of the Klipspringer prove to be different from 
the typical one, in having a very distinct dark-brown or black mark above 
the hoofs and the under parts of the body white in strong contrast to the 
upper parts. They differ from the Nyasaland race in having the top of 
the head of the same colour as the back. The type is from Rustenburg 
District, one of the $$ mentioned above : “ head and body 800 mm. ; 
tail 75; hind foot (s.u.) 185; ear 81.” Skull: length from tip of pre- 
maxilla to back of parietal 142 mm. ; from nasals 127 ; basilar length 122 ; 
greatest width at orbits 80 -5 ; at zygomatic arch 77 ; interorbital con- 
striction ; postorbital constriction 53 -2 ; width of brain case 54 -2 ; width 
of maxilla above, at nasals, 23 -8 ; length of molar series 51 *5 ; length 
from tip of premaxilla to nearest premolar 30 ; median width of palate 
26 -5 ; greatest diameter of bullae 18 -5 ; nasals 40 X 19 -5 ; length of 
mandible, basally, 113 ; height, posteriorly, 58. 
Skulls vary considerably in size, very old specimens being very much 
larger. The measurements recorded above are of about the average size 
of adults.

I am unable to refer these specimens to any of the described races 
of Steenbuck, and hope at a future date to offer some remarks upon them ; 
at present some of the specimens, from various places not vet recorded, 
are still dry, folded skins, and cannot therefore be properly examined.

This is the first record of this race so far west ; it appears to be rare ; 
only one other specimen was seen by Powell and was subsequently found 
to have been killed, apparently by a leopard. The Steenbuck found side 
by side with this species does not appear to be referable to R. campestris 
capricornis, which is curious, as one would naturally expect the range of 
the races of the two species found at Klein Letaba to be coextensive. 
The Letaba race of the Steenbuck may, however, be found there, but as 
rarely as the Letaba Grysbuck, and may therefore have been overlooked.
