DUIKERS AND SMALL ANTELOPES 535 
The Uganda race of the blue duiker was described by 
Matschie upon some skins obtained by Doctor Stuhlmann 
near Kampala, in the Chagwe district. The Baganda use 
the skins for mantles and robes, for which purpose the skins 
are roughly tanned and sewn together in a single piece. 
Duiker-skins are a common commodity in the native mar¬ 
kets, where they are offered for sale. The animals are 
caught in snares set across their runways in the forest, 
and are trapped primarily for their flesh, of which the 
natives are very fond. The race may be distinguished from 
the Congo blue duiker, mdanorheus , by its darker under¬ 
parts and the absence of horns in the female. No flesh 
measurements of specimens are available. The skull of 
an adult male from Kampala in the National Museum 
has a length of inches, with horns \y£ inches in length 
by yi inch in diameter at the base.

The Nandi blue duiker was described from specimens 
collected in the Kakumega forest at the base of the Nandi 
Escarpment. It differs from the Uganda race by the 
lighter-colored under-parts and larger body size, the skull 
being inch longer than in cequatorialis. 
The median dorsal coloration of the head and the body 
is fuscous, merging on the sides and under-parts to ecru- 
drab. The legs are somewhat darker than the back, being 
benzo-brown. The hinder border of the rump and the base 
of the tail are fuscous-black. The terminal half of the tail 
is white; but the hair basally is fuscous. The midline of 
the belly, the throat to the chin, and the inside of the legs 
are whitish. The top of the head and the muzzle are uni¬ 
form fuscous, and the cheeks and the orbital region are
