Crawshay, R. On the Antelopes of Nyassa-land. T. c. pp. 648-663, 
woodcut. 
The author treats more especially of the Antelopes met with west of 
the Lake. Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest is stated to be very generally 
distributed, and seven other Antelopes were plentiful. The Kudu, Sable. 
Antelope, and Black-tailed Gnu were seldom met with ; but exact locali-. 
ties were given where these Antelopes were to be found. In conclusion,, 
the author added that there were at least two other species of small 
Antelopes found in the hills, which hitherto he had not been able to, 
identify.. The skull/of Alcelaphus lichtensteini is figured.
