Cobus lechwe : the Lech we Waterbuck. 
Found by Mr. Sharpe in the Mweru district, its farthest (known) northward range. 
Cobus craw shay i {sp. nov.) ; Crawshay’s Waterbuck. 
Discovered by Mr. R. Crawshay in the Lake Mweru district; remarkably similar 
to Penrice’s waterbuck in South-West Africa. 
Cobus ellipsiprymnus ; the common Waterbuck. 
sEpyceros melampus ; the Pallah or Impala Antelope. 
The larger pallah—the common type—is apparently found all over British 
Central Africa to the west of the Nyasaland province {vide P.Z.S. 1893, p. 728): 
but in Nyasaland and the adjoining territory of Portuguese East Africa the small 
Johnston’s Pallah {PE. melampus johnstoni, sub-species nov.) is the prevailing or 
exclusively represented type {vide P.Z.S.). 
[.Damaliscus sp. inc.\ ; the Tsessebe? 
Mr. Sharpe believes he has seen in the Luangwa A r alley an antelope allied to or 
identical with the Tsessebe—or “Sassaby”—of South Africa. Mr. Poulett 
Weatherley reports the same animal to exist in the Lake Bangweolo district. 
Bubalis lichtensteini ; Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest. 
Connochcetes taurinus johnstoni {sub-species nov.) ; the Nyasaland Gnu. 
Found in south-east Nyasaland. A gnu is reported by the natives to exist in 
south-west Nyasaland and in the Luangwa Valley and on parts of the Tanganyika 
plateau. This may be the ordinary C. taurinus (Bl ue Wildebeest) or the johnstoni 
variety. The sub-species is determined by specimens shot by Mr. H. C. McDonald 
of the B.C.A.A., and by Messrs. James Harrison and Kirby. 
Hippotragus equinus ; the Roan Antelope. (P.Z.S. 1893, p. 728.) 
This animal is not usually found concurrently with its near ally, the sable 
antelope. It is consequently rare in or absent from Nyasaland proper (except in 
the N. Nyasa and the Ruo districts), but is common to the west in the Luangwa 
Valley, Mweru, and Tanganyika districts. 
Hippotragus niger ; the Sable Antelope. 
Common in Nyasaland, and said to be present in German and Portuguese East 
Africa. 
Order, Edentata. 
Sub-order, Planes. 
Mam's temminckii ; the Scaly Ant-eater.
