Antelopes
In the British Museum there is a skin of an immature male of this
species, together with its skull, belonging to the series obtained by
Rüppell in Abyssinia. There are also in the National Collection an
adult mounted male and female from the Upper Atbara obtained in 1874
and 1876.
Our illustration (Plate LXXXVIII.), which was put upon the stone by Mr.
Smit from a sketch prepared by Mr. Wolf under the directions of the
late Sir Victor Brooke, is believed to have been taken from the mounted
specimens in the British Museum.
So far as we know, no examples of this form of the Bushbuck have ever
been brought to Europe alive.
_November_, 1899.
