identification is correct, the two specimens mentioned are more likely referable 
to the Fanti race. 
Cephalophus doria (Ogilby). Zebra Antelope; ‘Mountain Deer” 
Antilope doria Ogilby, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1836, p. 121: Sierra Leone. 
A small species, standing 16 inches high at the shoulder; horns short and stubby; color pale 
rufous, with about thirteen black cross-bands on the body, from withers to rump. Liberia and 
Sierra Leone. 
This remarkably colored antelope was first described from an imperfect skin 
in Gould’s collection and another from Sierra Leone. No others had reached 
Europe until Biittikofer rediscovered the species in Liberia where it is known to 
the ‘‘ Americo-Liberians’’ as Mountain Deer. He says it is found in hilly country 
back from the coast, and he secured specimens at Soforé Place and on the Du 
and Farmington rivers. It was apparently unknown in the region about Buluma 
and Cape Mount, though on his last visit to the country he had a piece of the 
meat with skin on it from Carpenter’s Settlement. We saw nothing of it in life, 
but secured a native-dressed skin without head in the Kulu country and picked 
up a cranium in dense forest on the St. Paul’s River near Kolobanu. The skull 
is peculiar in that the short stubby horns are set in a shallow recess in the frontal 
bone instead of projecting from a plane surface. Jentink notes the unusual de- 
velopment of ‘‘heel brushes” or tufts of stiff hair on the foot. The excavation 
for the lachrymal gland on the side of the rostrum is much shallower than in 
the other species of the genus, while the vomer is peculiar in that it extends 
quite to the posterior end of the palate dividing the narial chamber completely, 
instead of sloping forward as in the usual type. The shape of the posterior bor- 
der of the palate is also different, nearly horseshoe-shaped instead of narrowly 
V-shaped. These differences fully justify the erection of a separate subgenus, 
Cephalophula, for this species, as Knottnerus-Meyer has done. The seemingly 
very restricted range of the species gives it additional interest as one of the 
characteristic mammals of the northwestern extension of the West Coast rain 
forest. 
Cephalophus niger Gray. Black Duiker; ‘‘Bush Goat” 
Cephalophus niger Gray, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 1, vol. 18, p. 165, 1846: ‘‘Guinea.”’ 
A medium-sized species, standing 18 inches at the shoulder; dark smoky brown or blackish 
all over, the face tawny; a tuft of stiff hair at the occiput rufous; ears rufous inside, the tail 
black with a whitish tip; horns up to 3.5 inches long in the male, smaller in the female. Sierra 
Leone to Ashanti. 
The Black Duiker is locally known as “Bush Goat” and seems to be one of 
the commoner species of the genus, generally distributed in the forest area. 
Biittikofer and his associates secured specimens at Schieffelinsville on the Junk 
River, and at localities on the Du, Farmington, and St. Paul’s rivers. The Brit- 
ish Museum has two from Monrovia. <A native hunter in our employ at Gbanga, 
brought in two adult females which he evidently had shot at very close range,
