brownish-drab band encircling the hoofs and covering the 
whole pastern region, while a stripe of the same color ex¬ 
tends to the knees on the forelegs. The outside of the ears 
is dark, and covered by minute scattered cinnamon hairs, 
the tips showing no darker borders. The inside of the ears 
is clothed by long white hairs. 
The flesh measurements of an adult male from Rhino 
Camp are: head and body, 31^2 inches; tail, 4^ inches; 
hind foot, 10 inches; ear, 3^ inches. The basal length of 
the skull from the condyles to the tip of the snout is 5^ 
inches. Three male specimens are in the National Museum 
collection, two of them from Rhino Camp and the third 
from Butiaba, a port on the northeast shore of the Albert 
Nyanza. The maximum horn measurements in these spec¬

Range. —From the southern limits of the Victoria 
Nyanza drainage northward through Uganda and the 
Elgon highlands as far as the latitude of Nimule; east¬ 
ward over the Mau Escarpment of British East Africa to 
the western edge of the Rift Valley. 
Oscar Neumann described the Uganda bush duiker in 
1905 from some flat native skins which he obtained in 1893 
from the Kavirondo of the Kisumu district of British East 
Africa. It is one of the small-eared races, resembling the 
Nile race in this respect, but may be distinguished from 
the latter by its larger body size, more ochraceous colora¬ 
tion, and darker-brown color of the pastern region of the feet. 
Specimens have been examined in the National Museum 
from the Uasin Gishu Plateau collected by the Smithsonian 
African expedition. Powell-Cotton collected specimens 
north of Mount Elgon and also in the Kedef Valley east 
of Nimule, which represent the northern limits of this race. 
An adult female from the Uasin Gishu Plateau gives the 
following flesh measurements: head and body, 38 inches;
