“The latter name is that by which the Wawemba call _C. vardoni_--_not_ ‘Inswala’ as Mr. Sharpe has stated in the account he wrote of his journey to Mweru; he was no doubt misled by his Watonga porters from Lake Nyasa, who gave him what is the Manganga name for the ‘Impala,’ which they confused with _C. vardoni_, never having seen that animal before. “It is curious how very accurate Livingstone’s information proves to be, even on such small points as these; he, though not a sportsman or one who cared much for natural history, records in his last journals the Wawemba name for _C. vardoni_ as ‘Sebula’--which of course might be a mistake in the printing for ‘Seyula,’ the name by which the Wawemba call this animal to the present day. “It will bear me out in my statement that this _Cobus_ is considerably smaller than _C. vardoni_, when I say that two of the Wasenga carried the animal, turn and turn about, for some three miles, when they were relieved by other men sent out from camp. “I should estimate its weight at, roughly, 90 lbs., possibly more. It is an adult specimen; for we found in her a fœtus (♂), to which she would have given birth in another week or 10 days. “Her height at the withers, as she lay dead, measured 30½ inches.” Mr. Crawshay’s typical specimen (now by his kindness deposited in the British Museum) being the only example yet obtained of this species, we have nothing more to say about it, except to express our regret that it arrived too late to be figured, or to be included in the synopsis of the species of _Cobus_ given above (p. 95). _December, 1896._ [Illustration: THE BOOK OF ANTELOPES, PL.
