Kenia highland race in the wide separation on the throat 
of the white areas of the upper and lower throat by a dark 
collar or bridge of the dorsal color of the nape, but differs 
by having the dorsal coloration decidedly rufous and 
grizzled rather than blackish or fuscous.

Range.— Highland forest area of Mount Kenia, the 
Aberdare Range, and the Kikuyu Escarpment south as far 
as Nairobi or Ngong. 
The Kenia race was described from specimens collected 
by Carl E. Akeley from elephant pits in the depths of the 
forest on the southwestern slope of the mountain between 
the altitudes of six thousand and seven thousand feet. This 
race haunts only the deep forest and is quite as shy and 
elusive as the bushbuck. They feed by browsing on leaves 
and twigs and live a solitary life in the undergrowth flank¬ 
ing the forest streams. When flushed from such covert 
they bound away at great speed, twisting about among the 
trees and never stopping until well within the security of 
thick undergrowth. They are not known to utter any note 
of alarm. The race may be distinguished by the body color, 
which is much darker than moschatus , the dorsal region 
being chestnut-brown, and the white of the throat being 
separated medially for half its length by a fulvous band. 
The legs are darker, with blacker pasterns, and striped in 
front to the knee. The pelage is longer, the hair on the 
rump being one and one-fourth inches long. 
The median dorsal area of the body is chestnut-brown, 
changing on the lower sides to vinaceous-tawny. The legs 
are ochraceous-tawny, and the pasterns fuscous, with a black 
stripe in front to the knees. The tail is fuscous, and some¬ 
what darker than the body, and is marked below by a nar¬ 
row white line. The crown of the head is bay. The snout 
is marked by a broad streak of fuscous, and a small white 
spot above the eye. The cheeks are vinaceous-tawny in
