APPENDIX I. 
Steinbock. Nanstragus tragulus (Swahili Ishah). Very 
often seen in the long grass on the plains. Horns average 
from three to five inches. 
The Duiker. Gephaloplius Mergens. Though not common, is 
found generally singly 011 small stony hills. 
On Mount Kilima-njaro, at an elevation of 10,000 feet, we 
killed a small antelope resembling the duiker, but with a very 
long thick coat. We also saw it as high as 1 3 )°°° feet- 
There is also on Kilima-njaro another Gephaloplius of a dark 
red colour, but much larger than the duiker. A male of this 
probably new antelope has been killed by Dr. Abbott. Mr. 
Jackson also killed a Cephalophus in the forest of Kahe. 
Heotragus Kirkii. This little animal, not as large as a 
hare, is very common in bush interspersed with aloes on dry 
red soil. It appears to subsist without water, being often found 
many miles away from it. 
When Herr Elders successfully climbed Kilima-njaro in 1888, 
he observed at about 10,000 feet a herd of large antelope, 
which he described as of a red colour, with rather long horns 
sweeping back; but until this antelope is obtained it will be 
impossible to determine what it is. The sable and roan 
antelope mentioned by Mr. Johnston as being common round 
Taveta were never seen by any of the party, though every bit 
of the country had been hunted over at all seasons of the year, 
nor did the natives know anything about them or recognise pic¬ 
tures of them. The sable antelope is found up the Wami river 
opposite Zanzibar, but, from our experience, does not come 
north of that. 
Da malts Hunteri, which was first seen by us on the 16th of 
October 1888, has turned out to be a species new to science. It 
is considerably larger than an mpallah, but stands rather lower 
than Hartcbccst Cokei. It is of a uniform red colour, with the 
exception of a white horse-shoe mark on the forehead and a 
rather long white tail. The horns of the male somewhat re¬ 
semble the horns of an mpallah, but are much thicker; those of 
the female being of much the same thickness. In length,
