streak on the chaffron, three dark fine lines inside each ear and a dark 
streak down the front of the legs, terminating in a black fetlock as if 
booted, completes the coloring. The duiker is found, like the grysbok, 
along the coast in wooded and bushy tracts. 
The Kleenebok. —In coming to the kleenebok, or slate-colored 
antelope, we have reached the last and smallest of this graceful and 
beautiful antelope family. The little kleenebok when full grown is 
only fifteen inches high and about twenty-eight inches in total length. 
Its head is very long in comparison with its size, with a spacious 
muzzle somewhat resembling a rat's both in shape and expression. 
The ears also are round and black like a rat's. The horns ar.e black, 
conical, reclined and slightly turned inwards and forwards. They are 
but two inches in length. In general color the delicate little animal is 
dull brownish buff or mouse color above and whitish underneath. The 
doe is even smaller and hornless. They are to be found in the forests 
along the seacoast. 
It is with regret that we take leave of this usually swift and 
gentle family, to pass on to uglier and more savage brutes, known as 
beasts of prey.
