AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 
Kilimanjaro Red Duiker 
Cephalophus natalensis harveyi 
Native Name: Swahili, nuno. 
Cephalophus harveyi Thomas, 1893, Ann. & Mag . Nat. Hist. (6), XI, p. 48. 
Range. —From the Juba and Tana Rivers southward 
along the coast to German East Africa and westward to 
Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. 
Jackson collected the type which was named at his 
suggestion for Harvey, who had shot a specimen previously 
on the River Lumi near Taveta. The type specimen was 
obtained in the Kahe forest on the south slope of Kiliman¬ 
jaro. Several years previous to the discovery of the 
species by Harvey, Sir John Kirk sent a specimen to the 
British Museum from Malindi which had been referred to 
natalensis and then forgotten. Other specimens have been 
shot on the coast of German East Africa near Tanga, 
Saadani, and Dar-es-Salam. The northern record is based 
on specimens secured on the lower Juba River by Captain 
Bottego in 1894. 
The Kilimanjaro red duiker may be distinguished from 
the highland race of British East Africa by its lighter- 
colored legs, smaller body size, and absence of white on the 
inner side of the limbs on their basal portion. From the 
typical race, natalensis , of South Africa it differs by having 
the whole dorsal surface of the snout and head black or 
deep seal-brown in color. No flesh measurements of speci¬ 
mens are recorded. The skull length of the male specimen 
shot by Doctor L. W. Abbott near Taveta and now in the 
National Museum is 6^ inches. The horn dimensions in 
this specimen are: length, 3^ inches; girth at the base, 2^ 
inches.
