DUIKERS AND SMALL ANTELOPES 
531 
A red duiker obtained near Edoma Ravine was made the 
basis for the description of another race, ignifer , by Thomas 
in 1903. This specimen showed a smaller amount of black 
on the crown than the closely allied race, nigrifrons , of 
the Congo. It is distinguishable from harveyi by the dark 
color of the legs, by larger body size, and the presence of 
some rufous hair in the crown patch. Recently, specimens 
from Nairobi have been described as a different race, 
kenicB , by Lonnberg, who gives the color differences with 
harveyi as the character of his race. Nairobi specimens 
have been compared at the British Museum with the type 
of ignifer and with other specimens from Ruwenzori, and 
have been found quite identical in coloration. Two adult 
female specimens from Nairobi are in the National Museum 
which show considerable variation in the amount of black¬ 
ness on the crown, nape, and breast. The type has the 
color of the back bright bay or ochraceous-rufous, darken¬ 
ing forward on the neck and shoulders to dull brownish. 
The forehead is mixed rufous and black. The crown and 
occiput are bright-rufous, like the back; and the coronal tuft 
is a deeper and more chestnut or vinaceous rufous. The lips 
and chin are white. The ears are dark-brown on the back, 
with white edges and inner surfaces. The throat is rufous 
and the belly is brown mesially, grading into rufous, laterally. 
The inner side of the forearms, the inguinal region, and the in¬ 
ner side of the thighs are white. The outer side of the thighs 
and the forearms is rufous. The feet are brown, darkening al¬ 
most to black above the hoofs. The tail is rufous above, white 
belowproximally,with a mixed brown andwhite terminal tuft. 
The skull length of an adult male is inches, that of 
a female 6^4 inches. The horn length of a male from 
Eldoma Ravine is 3^ inches with a basal diameter of 1% 
inches. The horns of an adult female from Nairobi are 
about one-half of these dimensions. They are ifi inches 
in length by ^ of an inch in diameter at the base.
