The dorsal color of an adult male is bright cinnamon- 
rufous, the median area being only slightly darker, or hazel. 
The sides are cinnamon-buff, contrasting very little with the 
white under-parts. The legs are ochraceous-buff, lighter and 
brighter than the sides, and the pasterns are fuscous. The 
tail is grayish in effect, the sides and the under-surface being 
white, and the tip and the dorsal stripe fuscous. The crown 
of the head is cinnamon-rufous, bordered below by a whitish 
supraocular stripe. The midline of the snout and the orbital 
area are dusky. The cheeks and the sides of the head are cin¬ 
namon-rufous. The upper lips, chin, and throat are white, 
but the middle of the throat has the white areas separated by 
a narrow band of fulvous one inch wide. The ears are dusky 
on back, like the snout, and the inner side and base are 
whitish. The under-parts are silky-white, with a white stripe 
extending down the inner side of each leg to the knee. The 
sexes are alike in color.

Kilimanjaro Pygmy Antelope 
Nesotragus moschatus kirchenpaueri 
Native Name: Wachaga, suni (Abbott). 
Nesotragus kirchenpaueri Pagenstecher, 1885, Jahr.-Ber. Mas., Hamburg, II, 
p- 36 - 
Range. —Highland forest area of Mount Kilimanjaro 
ranging down to three thousand feet. 
Doctor G. A. Fischer during his explorations on Kili¬ 
manjaro in 1883 secured the type specimen of the species 
which Pagenstecher later named kirchenpaueri. In 1888 
Doctor Abbott obtained an immature male from the natives 
while at Taveta. These two specimens represent all the 
available material from Kilimanjaro. The type is an adult 
mounted male in the Hamburg Museum, where it has been 
examined. It is somewhat darker than Abbott’s specimen, 
but shows the same extensive white areas on the throat and 
the dark pasterns which characterize this race.
