DUIKERS AND SMALL ANTELOPES 575 
but may be distinguished by its lighter-colored legs, brighter 
golden body color, more pronounced or extensive black 
bands above the hoofs, and dark-rufous forehead and 
crown. 
The dorsal color is bright buff-yellow, and is everywhere 
speckled by seal-brown, owing to the basal color of the hair 
showing beneath the narrow yellow tips. The yellow is 
purest on the neck. The midline of the back shows most 
blackish, and is uniform in color with the rump. The sides 
are sharply defined against the pure white of the under¬ 
parts. The tail is not differentiated by color or longer hair 
from the rump. The forelegs are lighter-colored than the 
back, being buffy, with less of the dark hair bases showing 
through on the outside, and the inside is uniform whitish, 
like the under-parts. A heavy black band encircles the 
hoofs and reaches half-way to the false hoofs. The hind 
legs are like the fore, but the inside from the hocks to the 
hoof is uniform in color with the outside. The crown of 
the head is russet, lined heavily by black. The snout is 
buffy on the sides, like the legs, but the median portion is 
blackish. The lips and chin are whitish. The midline of 
the throat is buff-yellow, without darker vermiculations. 
The backs of the ears are clothed by short, buffy hairs, but 
the central portion and margin are blackish, except on the 
lower inner border, which is marked by a white bar or spot. 
The inside and the base of the ear are whitish. 
The Marsabit race is practically identical in size with the 
Masailand form. An average specimen gives the following 
measurements in the flesh: head and body, 33 inches; tail, 
inches; hind foot, 9 inches; ear, 3^ inches. Greatest 
length of skull, 5^ inches. A single male is in the collec¬ 
tion. The horns of this specimen measure 3 yi inches. 
Specimens of this race were secured on the summit of 
Mount Lololokwi, at six thousand feet altitude, and on the 
rocky kopjes which dot the west Kenia plateau. They were 
also seen on the slopes of Mount Uaragess, but nowhere 
were they encountered in the low desert region, and it is 
doubtful if they occur below an altitude of three thousand 
feet.
