of stony hills near water. Horns measure from twenty-five to 
twenty-nine inches along the inside curve. 
Keed-buck (Swahili, Porhe). This antelope obtained by us 
differs from the South African one, and will probably prove 
to be a new species; the horns in this are thicker and more 
bent forward at the tips. It is found in the early morning 
and evening feeding near the edges of reedy swamps, and when 
disturbed immediately runs into the rushes. It was very 
common round a large swamp near Mikunduni, in the Masai 
country, south-west of the mountain. It is of a light yellow 
colour, the hair being rather long and coarse. 
Grant’s Gazelle. Gazella Granti (Swahili, Swarah). Common 
everywhere on the open plains. One male generally accompanies 
ten to fifteen females. It is most common in the direction 
of Useri. The longest pair of horns obtained measured thirty 
inches, but twenty-seven inches is a big head. Those of the 
best female measured seventeen inches along the inside curve. 
Thomson’s Gazelle. Gazella Thomsoni. This handsome 
little gazelle, discovered by Mr. J. Thomson during his trip 
through Masai-land in 1883, was found in large numbers in 
the plains in the Masai country to the south-west of the moun¬ 
tain, and we also came across it on the boarders of the Masai 
country at the south end of the Kyulu mountain, but they are 
not found on the south side of the mountain between these 
two points. I have seen them mixing with Gazella Granti, 
the female of which at long range, though larger, is easily 
mistaken for a male Thomsoni, both having the broad 
black stripe on the side. They are generally in small herds, 
one male to about ten females. Horns of a male measured 
fourteen inches along the curve, with a spread from tip to tip 
of three and three-quarter inches. 
Waller’s Gazelle. Gazella Walleri. Very rare near Kilima¬ 
njaro, though numerous up the Tana river. It frequents thin 
thorny bush on red sandy soil. One was killed near the south 
end of Lake Jipe. A good pair of horns measured fourteen 
inches along the curve.
