 Bv r the kind permission of the Editor, the following obituary 
 notice is reproduced, with some omissions and verbal alterations, 
 from The Times of January 8th, 1917. 
 
 " Captain F. C. Selous, D.S.O., the famous South African 
 explorer and big game hunter, was killed in action in East Africa 
 on January 4th at the age of 65. Last September he was awarded 
 the D.S.O. ' for conspicuous gallantry, resource and endurance,' the 
 official report adding that he set a magnificent example to all 
 ranks, and that the value of his services with his battalion could 
 not be overestimated. 
 
 Captain Frederick Courteney Selous was born in London on 
 December 31, 1851. He was educated at Rugby and afterwards 
 at Neuchatel and Wiesbaden. At the age of 19 he left England 
 with 400 in his packet, determined to earn his living as a 
 professional elephant hunter. With this object he made his way 
 to the Kimberley diamond fields, then recently discovered. On 
 learning that the right season of the year for a trip to the interior 
 was not due for some months, young Selous joined a trading 
 expedition into Griqualand. In 1S72 he at last set forth for the 
 interior, that is, the territory now known as Southern Rhodesia, 
 then terrorized by the Matabele and their martial chief Lobengula. 
 Without the permission of this monarch no one might enter 
 M ttabeleland or the neighbouring territories. Selous approached 
 Lobengula about the matter, and the king was pleased to jest at

 his petitioner's youthful appearance and to regard the idea of his 
 attacking an elephant with derision. He gave the desired 
 permission, which was taken advantage of promptly ; not only did 
 Selous hag many elephants hefore he came of age, but by the 
 time he was five -and- twenty he was known far and wide in 
 South Africa as one of the most successful ivory hunters of 
 the day. 
 
 About this time many of the Boer elephant hunters were 
 giving up the profession; the elephants had given up their old 
 haunts of the open veld and the herds had retreated to the forest 
 country. Here the use of horses was impossible, and malarial and 
 other fevers took toll of the hunters ; a few of the bolder spirits 
 made up their minds to stick to elephant hunting, and it was 
 among these hardy and experienced men that Selous speedily made 
 a great reputation for courage, bushcraft and endurance. A man 
 of beautiful proportions, with a chest of extraordinary depth and 
 breadth, he is described as the best white runner that the Matabele 
 had ever seen, and more than once he owed his life to his power of 
 sprinting, jumping and swerving. The life of constant hardship 
 toughened him, and he seldom suffered from fever. 
 
 Until 1881 Selous devoted himself mainly to elephant hunt- 
 ing, save for one holiday to England in 1875. In the former year 
 he returned home for the second time, and shortly afterwards 
 published ' A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa,' a book which ran 
 through five editions, and took rank immediately among the 
 classical works on African hunting. His keen interest in topo- 
 graphy led to a succession of contributions to the Journal of 
 the Roval Geographical Society, which in due time awarded him 
 its gold medal. By the end of 1881 he was back at the Cape, and 
 for the next six years wandered about the Matabele and other 
 territory to the Zambesi, devoting himself mainly to procuring 
 specimens of the African fauna for museums and private collections 
 at home. Many of the finest specimens to be seen in the Natural 
 History Museum were procured by Selous during these years. 
 
 In 1888, in passing through the Mashukulumbwi territory, 
 Selous was set upon by that tribe ; his caravan was plundered, 
 many of his followers were killed, and he himself, escaping with

 difficulty, made liis way back in the last stages of exhaustion. 
 Early in 1890 he led the pioneer expedition of the Chartered 
 Company into Mashonaland, and so saved that valuable country 
 from Portuguese annexation. 
 
 The next two years were spent on surveying and similar 
 work for the Chartered Company, and in 1892 Selous returned to 
 England. In 1893 he published 'Travel and Adventure in South- 
 East Africa,' which contained not only an account of his many 
 adventures since the publication of his former book, but also 
 glowing descriptions of the potentialities of Mashonaland and 
 Manicaland. Returning to Rhodesia in the same year, he assisted 
 in the suppression of the first Matabele insurrection; he then came 
 home, as he thought, for good, and soon afterwards married Marie 
 Catherine Gladys (daughter of the late Canon Maddy) who survives 
 him. In 1895 he returned to Rhodesia with his wife to take up 
 the management of an estate, and was thus in time to serve 
 through the second Matabele War, during which his homestead 
 was burnt by the rebels. In 1896 he embodied these experiences, 
 together with a review of the causes of the Matabele wars and of 
 the resources of Charterland, in a book entitled ' Sunshine and 
 Storm in Rhodesia.' 
 
 From this time onwards Selous gratified his ruling passion, 
 big-game shooting, rather as an amateur than as a professional. 
 In 1894-5 he visited Asia Minor on a hunting tour, and in 1897 
 and 1898 he made two trips to the Rocky Mountains. In 1900, 
 1901, and 1905 he shot in Newfoundland. In 1904 and 1906 he 
 Avas on the Macmillan River in the Yukon territory of North- 
 Western Canada. In later years he once more turned his attention 
 to Africa, this time to British East Africa and the Nile. Through- 
 out his career Selous was much more than merely a successful 
 game-shooter. Wherever he went he took the deepest interest in 
 the habits and personality of all animals encountered. Keen 
 observation, indefatigable patience, and a retentive memory com- 
 bined to make him afield naturalist of veiy exceptional excellence; 
 and these qualities, together with his enormous experience, raised 
 him to the position of acknowledged doyen of the whole tribe of 
 
VI 1'HEFACK. 
 
 modern hunters. In 1909-1910 he organized and accompanied 
 Mr. Roosevelt's hunting expedition in British East Africa. 
 
 In one of his later books, * African Nature Notes and 
 Reminiscences,' Selous summarized his vast stores of knowledge 
 about many of the noblest of the African wild game ; and lie 
 wrote also two books dealing with his adventures in Asia Minor 
 and in North America. All his books are written in a spirit of 
 transparent honesty and in a simple and direct style, reflecting the 
 character of the author, ^vhose straightforwardness, integrity, 
 hospitality, and kindness of heart were as well known to hosts of 
 friends as the qualities which made him so successful a hunter. 
 At his house at Worplesdon he built a special museum for his 
 numerous trophies; and nothing pleased him better than to show 
 visitors over this building, except, perhaps, the acquisition of fresh 
 additions to it." 
 
 A memorial to Selous was presented to the Natural History 
 Museum by the subscribers, and was unveiled at a public ceremony 
 on June 10th, 1920. It is the work of the late Mr. W. R. Colton, 
 R.A., and consists of a bust in bronze in a granite setting with a 
 plaque below depicting some of the better known species of African 
 Big Game. The stone is a block of syenite from Bon Accord 
 Quarry, presented by the Union Government of South Africa. 
 
 Selous gave the Museum a number of Big Game and other 
 mammals, but his main collection was presented by Mrs. Selous in 
 1919. The majority of the specimens are heads of adult males, 
 and these have been arranged on the walls of the corridors on the 
 first floor of the building under the supervision of Captain .}. G. 
 Dollman, who has written the Catalogue, which it is hoped may 
 prove of interest and utility to sportsmen. 
 
 Some extracts from Selous' books U A Hunter's Wanderings 
 in Africa " and " Great and Small Game of Africa " have been

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 THE specimens of Big Game and other Mammals dealt with in 
 this Catalogue were shot by the late Captain F. C. Selous, D.S.O., 
 between the years 1870 and 1910, and were presented to the 
 Museum by Mrs. Selous in 1919. The most important of the 
 expeditions made by Selous during this period and the number 
 of specimens collected and preserved in the Collection are shown in

 The Catalogue is divided into two parts, the first of which deals 
 with the African Big Game Collection, containing 44-3 specimens, 
 and the second (p. 89) with 81 specimens from Europe, Asia, and 
 North America. 
 
 Unless the contrary is stated, the specimens referred to are all 
 mounted heads of adult male individuals. All horn measurements 
 are given in inches. 
 
 The synonymy of the various species and subspecies given in 
 the Catalogue is not complete, but it is sufficient to indicate the 
 origin of the names used.

 Distinguished from the Abyssinian Guereza by having the white 
 brush of the tail very much larger, only about 3 to 6 inches of the 
 base of the tail being black ; the white hairs of the body-mantle, 
 as a rule, entirely cover the black basal part of the tail. 
 
 Typical locality, Useri, north-east slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. 
 There can be but little doubt that this monkey is fairly widely 
 distributed throughout Kenya Colony. Several different races of 
 the East African White-tailed Guereza have been described, but 
 the distinguishing characters are perhaps of doubtful systematic 
 value. Owing to the licensing restrictions now in force it is 
 rarely that more than one or two of these monkeys are obtained 
 from the same locality, and in dealing with such small differences 
 of coloration as have been used to distinguish these various 
 forms, a large series of specimens is needed before such differences 
 can be accepted as being of any systematic importance.

 EAST AFRICAN GREAT-EARED FOX. 
 
 OTOCYO^ YIRGATUS. 
 Otocyon virgatus, Miller, Smithson. Misc. Collect, vol. xlii. p. 485, 1909. 
 
 A small fox-like animal with very large ears ; distinguished 
 from the true foxes and dogs by having three or four upper molar 
 teeth and four lower ones on each side of the jaws. This form is 
 distinguished from the South African O. megalotis by the underside 
 of the body being buff-coloured instead of creamy white, and 
 having the tail marked above with a distinct black stripe. Miller 
 in his original description states that the skull differs from that of 
 megalotis in the flatter, less inflated auditory bullse, and the 
 absence of a notch between the angular and subangular processes 
 of the mandible. 
 
 Typical locality, Naivasha Station, Kenya Colony ; range from 
 Tanganyika Territory northwards through Kenya Colony towards 
 Abyssinia. The Abyssinia Great-eared Fox was recently described 
 by Cabrera * as a distinct form under the name canescens ; both

 The presence of four toes on the fore feet distinguishes the 
 genus Lycaon from Canis. Ears very large. General colour a 
 mixture of yellowish buff, blackish brown, and white, in irregular 
 blotches, the pattern being extremely variable ; a dark frontal 
 stripe usually present. Skull heavily built and excessively broad, 
 with very massive teeth, superficially resembling those of the 
 Hyanidce. 
 
 Typical locality, Mozambique. The Hunting Dog is very 
 generally distributed over the greater part of South Africa ; it 
 still exists in certain parts of Cape Colony. The Cape Colony 
 Lycaon has been separated as a distinct race under the name 
 venaticus *, and another form has been described from Zululand 
 as zuluensis f.

 Distinguished from its near ally Hyaena liycena scliillinysi by 
 its smaller size, more indistinct and lighter stripes, and the 
 yellowish buff colour of the feet. 
 
 Typical locality, Elgeyo Escarpment, Uasin Gishu Plateau, 
 Kenya Colony ; range appears to extend northwards from the 
 Uasin Gishu Plateau and Northern Guaso Nyiro towards Lake 
 Rudolf and Southern Abyssinia. A name has been given to the 
 Striped Hyaena from the Northern Guaso Nyiro by Lonnberg *, 
 but according to Roosevelt and Heller f, who had the opportunity 
 of examining a large series of specimens from this locality, there 
 is no difference of systematic value between the Northern Guaso 
 Nyiro specimens and ~bergeri.

 Crocuta capensis, Trouessart, Cat. Mamm. Suppl. p. 243, 1905. 
 
 Members of this genus are easily distinguished from the 
 Striped Hyaenas by the absence of the dorsal mane, smaller ears, 
 and the spotted markings on the body ; the skull is shorter and 
 wider, and the lower carnassial tooth is without the heel. 
 
 Type locality, Cape Colony. In Cape Colony this hyaena 
 is now nearly extinct ; in Zululand and parts of the Transvaal it 
 is still found, and further north it is fairly plentiful. In 1900 
 Matschie J described a Spotted Hyaena from the Orange River 
 Colony under the name Hyaena ( Crocotta) gariepensis ; the 
 following specimens may belong to this race, but there is not suffi- 
 cient material at present available for examination to justify the 
 recognition of this form.

 Distinguished from the South African race by its smaller size

 variable and the dark spots are very large. 
 
 Typical locality, Lake Rukwa, Tanganyika Territory. This 
 hyaena would appear to be very widely distributed in East Africa, 
 being found throughout the greater part of Kenya Colony and 
 Tanganyika Territory. North of the Northern Gruaso Nyiro and 
 through the Lake Rudolf region towards Abyssinia its place is 
 taken by Crocuta crocuta jisi, described by Heller * from the area 
 between the Northern Guaso Nyiro and Mount Marsabit. The 
 names kibonotensis, panganensis, and nzoyce must be regarded as 
 synonyms of germinans.

 to be met with, and are equally plentiful on the high, open downs 
 of the Mashuna country, amongst the rough broken hills, through 
 which run many of the tributaries of the Zambesi, in the dense 
 thorn-thickets to the west of the Gwai River, or in the marshy 
 country in the neighbourhood of Linyanti. As, however, they are 
 nocturnal in their habits^ and usually lie asleep during the daytime, 
 in beds of reeds, or in the midst of dense thickets, it is only by 
 chance that one comes across them, even in parts of the country 
 where, from hearing their voices at nights, and constantly seeing 
 their spoor, there can be no doubt that they are plentiful. All the 
 Dutch hunters in the interior, as well as many Europeans, who 
 pretend to higher scientific attainments, say that there are at least 
 three distinct species of lions in South Africa ; whilst some assert 
 that there are four or even five. Their distinctions are all based 
 upon the length and colour of the mane, the general colour of the 
 coat, the spots on the feet, and the comparative size of the animals. 
 For my part, and judging from my own very limited experience of 
 lions, I cannot see that there is any reason for supposing that 
 more than one species exists, and as out of fifty male lion skins 
 scarcely two will be found exactly alike in the colour and length 
 of the mane, I think it would be as reasonable to suppose that 
 there are twenty species as three. The fact is, that between the 
 animal with hardly a vestige of a mane, and the far handsomer 
 but much less common beast with a long flowing black mane, every 
 possible intermediate variety may be found. This I say emphati- 
 cally, after having seen a great many skins, and I entirely deny 
 that three well-marked and constant varieties exist. On June 6, 
 1879, I came across two fine old male lions on the Mababe flat, 
 lying together under the same bush, and shot them both. One 
 was a full-maned lion with a very dark-coloured skin, the other a 
 very light-coloured animal with scarcely any mane at all. In size 
 they were nearly as possible equal, the skins, when pegged out, 
 measuring 10 feet 10 inches arid 10 feet 9 inches respectively. A 
 few months afterwards Mr. H. C. Collison and myself again came 
 across two lions, the one dark-coloured, with a full, blackish mane, 
 the other a yellow-looking animal with but little mane. A day or 
 two later we shot two lionesses. The one killed by my friend 
 carried in her womb three cubs (two males and a female) that 
 would probably have seen the light a few hours later. Of the two

 male cubs the one, owing to the dark colour of the tips of the 
 hairs, was almost black, whilst the other was reddish yellow. The 
 
 skin of the female cub was also of a light colour " 
 
 The Lion has been completely exterminated in the country south 
 of the Orange River ; it still occurs in parts of the Transvaal and 
 Zululand, and in Rhodesia and Bechuanaland is found in consider- 
 able numbers.

 median dorsal lines usually broken into quite short lengths. 
 General colour of body rich buff, much as in the South African 
 form. 
 
 Typical locality, Machakos, Ulu District, Kenya Colony. This

 The South African Cheetah is rather smaller than the East 
 African races, with the general ground-colour rather darker and 
 spots smaller ; in appearance it more nearly resembles the Indian 
 Cheetah, Acinonyx venaticus. 
 
 In South Africa the Cheetah is still plentiful in Southern 
 Rhodesia and parts of the Kalahari.

 Of the three bulls in the Collection, No. 19. 7. 15. 39 has 
 the largest horns : greatest width outside 44J ; inside width 
 39 ; depth of palm over curve 13| ; spread from tip to tip 29. 
 The horns of the cow, which is a brownish red-coloured specimen, 
 are considerably more slender : greatest width outside 39 ; inside 
 width 35 jf ; depth of palm 7; spread from tip to tip 26. 
 
 Typical locality, Sunday River, near Algoa Bay, South Africa, 
 the range extending into Northern Natal and Rhodesia. Two 
 other forms of South African Buffalo have been described*, garie- 
 pensis from the Orange River Colony, and UmpopoemiB from 
 Swaziland ; the horn characters that have been used to distinguish 
 these so-called species are, however, so very unsatisfactory that it 
 seems best to ignore these two names, and consider the following 
 specimens as representing the typical race, which may be called 
 the South African Buffalo.

 inches on front curve. Head comparatively short, much shorter 
 than in the Lelvvel Hartebeests. General colour reddish or 
 brownish buff.

 the southern part of Kenya Colony south-west of the Tana River 
 and extends southwards into Tangari3 r ika Territory. The Coke 
 Hartebeest found in the highlands of Kenya Colony from the eastern 
 slopes of Mt. Kenya and Lake Naivasha southwards to the Victoria 
 Nyanza and north-west part of Tanganyika Territory has been 
 described by .Heller * as a distinct race, under the name Jcongoni. 
 From the material at present available for examination the 
 distinctive characters attributed to this form do not seem to justify 
 such a separation, and thus the specimens shot by Selous at Simba 
 and in the Naivasha Province are here referred to the typical form.

 Bubalis lelwel jacksoni, Lydekker, Game Animals of Africa, p. 107, 1908. 
 
 Size rather larger than in cokei, height at shoulder about 52 
 inches. Distinguished by the greater elongation of the head and 
 extreme development of the horn-pedicle. The Jackson Harte- 
 beest is distinguished from the typical lelwel by the absence of 
 dark markings on the legs and face. General body colour 
 yellowish rufous. Good horns from 24 to 26 inches in length on 
 front curve. 
 
 Of the five males in the Collection No. 19. 7. 15. 77 has the 
 best horns : length on front curve 24 ; circumference 11 f ; spread

 Type locality, Kavirondo ; range appears to extend eastwards 
 into Kenya Colony as far as the Ravine Station. Heller * has 
 recently described the Kenya Lelwel Hartebeest as distinct from

 Bnbalis caama seJ&omet,Lydekker, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1913, p. 820, fig. 135, 
 Abstract No. 119, p. 19. 
 
 Closely related to the extinct Cape Rooi Hartebeest, the typical 
 race, which appears to have been confined to the area south of the 
 Orange River. The present race was founded on a specimen from 
 Kimberley, imported from the Transvaal ; it is said to differ from 
 caama in being paler in colour, and in having the dark face blaze 
 mixed with tawny and not extending to the horns and muzzle. 
 The light marking between the eyes is also more extensive, and 
 the dark markings on the limbs are less developed and less intense. 
 Distinguished from the Lelwel Hartebeest by the dark face blaze, 
 light marking between eyes, dark markings on limbs, and light 
 coloured rump. The horns, mounted on a high pedicle, curve 
 forwards above the Y and then turn sharply backwards, almost at 
 right angles ; they are about equal in length to those of jacJcsoni, 
 good horns from 24 to 26 inches in length along the front curve. 
 
 Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 84) : length on front 
 curve 23^ ; circumference 12 ; spread from tip to tip 10|. 
 
 This race extends northwards from the Orange River into 
 Southern Rhodesia and Bechuanaland. 
 
 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 
 Rooi Hartebaest: "The range of this Antelope is very similar to 
 that of the Gemsbuck. It is still found in Griqualand West, in 
 some parts being fairly plentiful. All along the eastern border of 
 the Kalahari Desert it is also to be found, and extends as far east 
 as the river Serule on the road from Bamangvvato to Tati. In 
 the neighbourhood of the saltpans lying between the Botletlie 
 River and the road from Bamangwato to the Zambesi, it is very 
 plentiful, and may be met with in large herds. It does not, 
 however, extend its range to the north of these saltpans, and is 
 unknown in all the country between the Chobe and Mababe rivers, 
 as it is also in the Matabele and Mashuna countries "

 elongated. Horns mounted on a short and very broad pedicle, 
 stouter and shorter than in the foregoing forms; good horns 
 measure from 20 to 23 inches in length along the front curve. 
 General colour brownish buff, rather redder on the back; chin, 
 front of lower part of legs, and tail-tuft black. Rump nearly as 
 pale in colour as in caama. 
 
 Of the four males in the Collection No. 19. 7. 15. 87 possesses 
 the finest horns, measuring as follows : length on front curve 19 ; 
 circumference 12| ; spread from tip to tip 4|. The females carry

 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of this 
 species : " This fine antelope, whose range is now known to extend 
 over large areas of country to the north of the Zambesi in Central 
 and East Central Africa, as well as over a considerable part of 
 South-East Africa to the south of that river, was first discovered 
 by the German naturalist, Dr. Peters, in the neighbourhood of 
 Sena on the lower Zambesi, and by him named after his compatriot, 
 the traveller Dr. Lichtenstein. South of the point where

THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 10 
 
 Dr. Peters first met with it, this hartebeest is found throughout 
 the greater part of the low-lying coast-country between the 
 Zambesi and the Sabi, and although its range has not been 
 accurately determined in this direction, it probably extends into 
 certain districts of the country to the south of the lower course of 
 the latter river. This species is fairly common on both sides of 
 the central and upper course of the Sabi River, as far north as a 
 point some 50 miles south of Mount Wedza, and from there east- 
 wards may be met with to within a few miles of Massikessi. 
 Westwards from the central Sabi a few stragglers range as far as 
 and even beyond the Lunti River, while in 1885 a small herd of 
 six suddenly appeared in northern Mashonaland, near the Hanyani 
 River, some 20 miles to the north-west of where Salisbury now 
 
 stands Throughout the greater part of the country in which 
 
 I have travelled to the north of the Zambesi, I have met with 
 Lichtenstein's Hartebeest ; and it is one of the commonest 
 antelopes on the Table-lands lying between the Zambesi and the 
 Kafukwi, as well as all over the country to the north of the latter 
 river, which is where I first met with it in 1877-78 . . . ."

20 THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 
 
 The members of this genus are distinguished from the Harte- 
 beests by their shorter faces and absence of horn -pedicles, the 
 frontals not being specially developed for this purpose as in Alce- 
 lapJius. In pyyargtis the height at the shoulder is about 40 inches. 
 Horns sublyrate, fine horns measure from 15 to 16| inches in 
 length. General colour rufous brown, dark purplish brown on 
 flanks and upper parts of limbs, paler on shoulders and saddle. 
 Conspicuous white blaze on forehead, continued forwards as a 
 broad nose-stripe. Ears brownish buff. Base of tail and patch on 
 rump white. Lower parts of limbs white on outer sides. Belly 
 white, sharply marked off from brown flanks. 
 
 Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 93) : length on front 
 curve 15 ; circumference 6| ; spread from tip to tip 8J. The 
 best of the two females is No. 19. 7. 15. 97, which has the following 
 horn measurements : length on front curve 14| ; circumference 
 5 1 ; spread from tip to tip 6j|. 
 
 Typical locality, Cape Colony ; the range formerly extended as 
 far north as the Orange River. At the present time the species is 
 extinct in the wild state. Selous secured his specimens from one 
 of the two farms where the Bontebok is preserved.

 frequently separated from the white nasal marking by a transverse 
 rufous band, the ears being nearly white, base of tail and rump 
 but very little lighter than back, lower part of limbs being rufous- 
 brown on outer sides, and the under parts of body brownish in 
 front, dirty white behind. Good horns from 16 to 18^ inches in 
 length. 
 
 There are only two specimens of this rare Antelope in the 
 Collection, both being females ; the mounted head, No. 19. 7. 15. 98, 
 has the longest horns, which measure as follows : length on front 
 curve 13| ; circumference 5 ; spread from tip to tip 5J. 
 
 The exact position of the typical locality is not known, but was 
 probably Cape Colony. Formerly the Blesbok was found through- 
 out the northern part of Cape Colony, and its range extended as 
 far north as Bechuanaland. Like the preceding species, the 
 Blesbok can no longer be regarded as existing in the wild state ; 
 it is preserved on a number of farms in the Transvaal, Orange 
 Kiver Colony, and Cape Colony.

 In the members of this germs the horns are not united in a 
 common pedicle, being more as in the Buffalo with an expanded 
 basal region. A well-developed mane is present on the neck. The 
 South African Gnu is distinguished from the other members of 
 the genus by its white tail, short snout, large orbits, and the shape 
 of the horns, which in the adult curve forward and downward and 
 then upward and backward. There is no marked shoulder hump, 
 but the hind quarters are very prominent. Height at shoulder 
 about 46 inches. Dorsal vertebrae fourteen in number. Good 
 horns measure from 23 to 26f inches on the front curve.

 Size larger than in ConnocJicetes gnu ; shoulder- height from 51 
 to 52 inches, hind quarters sloping more as in AlcelapJius. Horns 
 narrower at base and directed outwards to start with, then curving 
 upwards and inwards. No long fringe between fore legs, such as 
 occurs in Connoclicetes gnu. General colour considerably greyer, 
 with a suggestion of dark stripes on neck and shoulders. Tail- 
 tuft brownish black. Snout long, and dorsal vertebrae thirteen in 
 number. Distinguished from the white-bearded race by the throat 
 fringe being very dark brown in colour.

 Typical localit}^ Bechuanaland ; range extends northwards as

 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 
 Blue Wildebeest in South Africa in 1881 : " This animal is met 
 with on the western borders of Griqualand West and all along the 
 eastern ridge of the Kalahari Desert, and all over South Central 
 Africa wherever I have travelled from the Limpopo to the 
 Zambesi, and from the Mashuna country to Lake N garni it is to be 
 met with in those districts that are suitable to its habits. Like the 
 Tsessebe it is partial to open downs devoid of bush, or open glades 
 in the forest, and is never met with in hilly countries. On the 
 Mababe flat it congregates in immense herds during the dry season. 
 In the Manica country, north of the Zambesi, I did not see any 
 Blue Wildebeest ; but the natives told me that to the west of the 
 river Kafukwe, in the country of the Mashukulumbwe, they were 
 plentiful "

 Connochsetes taurinus albojubatus, Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, 
 vol. ix. p. 388, 1892. 
 
 Size as in the typical race ; distinguished by the throat fringe 
 being yellowish white in colour; general body colour about the 
 same, sometimes rather paler. 
 
 Horn measurements (19. 7. 15. 121) : outside width 28 ; 
 inside width 23| ; length over curve 22| ; width of palm in 
 straight line 4f ; spread from tip to tip 14. 
 
 Typical locality, Athi Plains, Kenya Colony ; range from Fort 
 Hall and south of Mt. Kenya across the Athi Plains southwards 
 to Kilimanjaro and Tanganyika Territory. A closely allied race, 
 ConnocTicetes taurinus mearnsi, has been described by Heller * 
 from the Loita Plains, Kenya Colony. This form is said to be 
 rather smaller in size and darker on the legs ; it occupies the area 
 from the Loita Plains southwards into Tanganyika Territory, west 
 of the region inhabited by albojubatus. Connoclicetes taurinus 
 Jieclci, described by Neumannt, is probably only a colour variation 
 of albojubatus.

 The Oribis are readily distinguished from the other members of 
 the subfamily by their larger size and the presence of a bare patch of 
 skin below each ear. The knees are tufted, and small lateral hoofs 
 always present. The Cape Oribi stands about 24 to 26 inches at 
 the shoulder. General colour yellowish rufous with a dark marking 
 on forehead. Horns in good specimens measure from 5 to 7 inches 
 in length ; basal portions indistinctly ringed. 
 
 The horns of the series in the Collection are of average size 
 only, No. 19. 7. 15. 142 measuring as follows : length 4| ; spread

 No. 19. 7. 15. 225 possesses the best horns of the series : 
 length on front curve 15 g ; circumference 6 ; spread from tip to 
 tip 11|. 
 
 Typical locality, Cape Colony. This lleedbuck is very widely 
 distributed, extending northwards across the Zambesi and pene- 
 trating as far north as the Bahr-el-Grhazal. It is probable that, 
 when further material is available for examination, several distinct 
 races will have to be recognized. At present, the only other 
 form known is the Fort Jackson Keedbuck, Redunca arundinum 
 occidentalis *, which differs from the typical race in being rather 
 paler and greyer in colour, and in possessing horns that appear 
 stouter and less curved.

 Ward's Keedbuck is very closely allied to the Abyssinian 
 Bohor, the chief distinguishing character being the greater size of 
 the horns, which have the points turned inwards more than in the 
 Abyssinian race. Good horns measure from 10 to 13J inches in 
 length ; the best in the following series is No. 19. 7. 15. 239 : 
 length on front curve 10| ; circumference 6 ; spread from tip to 
 tip 6|. 
 
 Typical locality, Mau Plateau, Kenya Colony ; found through- 
 out the greater part of Kenya Colony, in the south reaching 
 Tanganyika Territory and extending northwards into Uganda.

 general colour rather richer and the elliptical white rump marking

 prominent, backs of ears reddish brown, tips black. No black

 The two heads in the Collection have horns of modem te length 
 only, No. 19. 7. 15. 282 measuring as follows : length on front

 Typical locality, Chobe Valley ; range extends from the 
 Zambesi and Chobe through Northern Rhodesia as far as Lake 
 Bangweolo. 
 
 In the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for the year 
 1881 (quoted above) Selous gives the following account of the 
 distribution of this Antelope : " The only place where I myself 
 met with this Antelope was in a small tract of country extending 
 along the southern bank of the Chobe for about sixty miles 
 westwards from its junction with the Zambesi. 
 
 " They are never found at more than 200 or 300 yards from the 
 river, and are usually to be seen cropping bhe short grass along the 
 water's edge, or lying in the shade of the trees and bushes 
 scattered over the alluvial flats which have been formed here and 
 there by the shifting of the river's bed. Now and then a few 
 must wander eastwards along the southern bank of the Zambesi as 
 far as the Victoria Falls, as I saw my friend Mr. J. L. Garden 
 
48 THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 
 
 shoot one in 1874 which was standing on the very brink of the 
 precipice. This, however, is the only one I have ever seen to the 
 east of Umparira, though I have been several times backwards and 
 forwards along the river's bank between that place and the 
 Victoria Falls since. Along the Upper Zambesi from Sesheke to 
 the Baroutse Valley the natives report them common. Why the 
 Pookoo does not extend its range further westwards along the 
 southern bank of the Chobe I am at a loss to understand, as there 
 does not appear to be any change in the character of the country 
 or vegetation to account for it." 
 
 Further information is given by Selous in his account of the 
 Puku in " The Great and Small Game of Africa " * : " In 1877 I 
 visited the Chobi River a second time, and hunted for several 
 months along its southern bank, but although this was only three 
 years after my first visit, when I found pookoo antelopes so 
 numerous, these animals had already become excessively scarce ; in 
 fact, had almost ceased to exist. The extermination of the pookoo 
 in this part of Africa was due to a political convulsion amongst 
 the Barotsi tribe on the Upper Zambesi, as, during the year 1876, 
 shortly after the assassination of Sipopo, the chief of the Barotsi, 
 large numbers of natives fled from their homes on the Zambesi, 
 crossed the swamps of the Chobi, and camped all along the 
 
 southern bank of that river, just in the pookoo ground 
 
 During this period of persecution no pookoos moved either farther 
 westwards along the Chobi, or eastwards along the Zambesi towards 
 the Victoria Falls, for although I found a few of these antelopes 
 still surviving in their old haunts in 1877, there were absolutely 
 none either to the east or the west of the small tract of country in 
 which they had been so plentiful in 1874 "

 In the South African Pala the horns are of medium size only

 General colour bright reddish brown ; no dark blaze on face, 
 a character that distinguishes the typical form from the Angolan 
 petersi, in which the muzzle is marked with a blackish blaze. 
 
 Of the four heads in the Collection the largest horns are those

 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 
 Pala in 1881 : " This Antelope I first met with on the Marico 
 and Notuani rivers, two tributaries oi the Limpopo ; and from 
 there northwards it is to be found along the banks of every river 
 and stream wherever I have been, except in those places where the 
 natives have exterminated or driven them away. They are nowhere 
 more plentiful than along the Chobe, and may often be seen in 
 herds of from twenty to a hundred together "

 from the Northern Guaso Nyiro and Turkwel River in the north, 
 southwards towards the Tanganyika Territory boundary, where it 
 probably merges with the closely allied race suara described by 
 Matschie * from the Kilimanjaro District. It may be, that when 
 more material is available for examination, it will be found that the 
 Kilimanjaro and Northern Guaso Nyiro Impalas represent one race 
 only, in which case the name given by Matschie would have to 
 be adopted for the Impala of Kenya Colony and Tanganyika 
 Territory.

 Closely related to the typical race, distinguished by the horns 
 being less parallel and the presence of a dark blackish spot on nose. 
 Lydekker and Blaine * considered the Thomson Gazelle from the 
 highlands of Kenya Colony as identical with the typical form from 
 Kilimanjaro. There has evidently been a mistake made, as the 
 authors state that " the absence of the nose-spot, upon which this 
 supposed race was founded, does not appear to be a constant 
 character of the Gazelles of this district." The race was founded

THE SELOtTS COLLECTION. 53 
 
 Size large, height at shoulder about 34 inches. Horns long 
 and widely spread, approaching the condition found in robertsi *, 
 the race which inhabits the country around the southern shores of 
 the VictoriaNyanza; good horns measure from 27 to 30| inches in 
 length. 
 
 The three heads of the typical race in the Collection were 
 obtained in 1915-16 in the Taita and Taveta District ; the best head 
 (No. 19. 7. 15. 322) carries horns of the following size: length 
 on front curve 25 ; circumference 7 ; spread from tip to tip 19 1. 
 
 Typical locality, Western Kinyene, Ugogo, Tangaii} r ika 
 Territory. The typical race is believed to be almost confined to 
 Tanganyika Territory, extending northwards only a short distance 
 into Kenya Colony.

 Gazella granti raineyi, Heller, Smithson. Misc. Collect, vol. Ixi. no. 7, 
 p. 6, 1913. 
 
 Most nearly allied to Gazella granti brighti described by 
 Thomas * from the Lado district ; distinguished by the presence 
 of a dark pygal band to the white rump-patch. Heller states, in 
 his original description, that the general colour of the upper parts 
 is darker. Horns larger and more widely spread. From roosevelti 
 this race is distinguished by the horns being smaller and more 
 parallel. The horns of this series average rather shorter and 
 markedly less widely spread than in the specimens referred to 
 roosevelti. 
 
 Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 326) : length on 
 front curve 25-^ ; circumference 6| ; spread from tip to tip 10^. 
 The average tip to tip interval of the two series is as follows : 
 roosevelti (8 specimens) 13 inches, and raineyi (7 specimens)- 
 8 inches. 
 
 Typical locality, junction of Northern Guaso Nyiro and Isiola 
 Rivers. Distributed over a large area of the northern part of

 Distinguished from the Gazelles by the presence of a large 
 evertible dorsal gland extending from middle of back to rump, and 
 lined with long white hairs, the absence of inguinal glands, and 
 presence of only two pairs of lower premolars. Horns of medium 
 size (from 14 to 19J inches in length in good specimens), sub- 
 lyrate, with incurved tips. 
 
 Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 331) : length on front

 female specimens No. 19. 7. 15. 334 has exceptionally long horns, 
 measuring 10| inches in length with a tip to tip interval of 
 5| inches.

 the Orange Kiver Colony and Bechuanaland, extending westwards 
 into Angola. 
 
 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 
 Springbuck in South Africa in the year 1881 : "The Springbok

 where it has not yet been exterminated. Along the borders of the 
 Kalahari desert it is common in many parts, and on the saltpans 
 between the Botletlie River and the waggon-road leading from 
 Bamangwato to the Zambesi, it is also plentiful. In common 
 with the Gemsbuck and Hartebeest, however, its northern range is 
 bounded by the thick forests which run east and west, south of the 
 Mababe river. I believe that to the west of Lake Ngami it has a 
 more extensive range northwards."

 the nose-patch is narrower and not connected with the eye-stripes ; 
 no fringe or tuft on throat. This race appears to be intermediate 
 between the Abyssinian Oryx beisa yallarum and the Kilimanjaro 
 Fringed-eared Beisa, Oryx beisa callotis. It is very much greyer 
 in colour than the Abyssinian form, and may be distinguished at 
 once from callotis by the absence of the long dark ear-fringes.

 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of the 
 Eoan Antelope in South Africa during the period 1871-1881 : 
 " I have twice met with the Roan Antelope to the south of 
 Bamangwato once on the Limpopo and once on the Notuani. 
 In the neighbourhood of the Tati in south-western Matabele Land 
 it is not uncommon, arid all along the road from there to the 
 Zambesi it may be met with, though nowhere plentiful. As far 
 as I have been along the Chobe it is to be found sparingly, and 
 also in the Mababe country. Throughout the Mashuna country it 
 is tolerably plentiful, and in the Manica country north of the 
 Zambesi I saw a good many. In fact it is to be found over a 
 vast extent of country in Central South Africa, but is nowhere to 
 be met with in large numbers."

 Size rather smaller than in the Roan Antelope ; shoulder-height 
 about 52 to 54 inches. Horns considerably longer and more 
 compressed ; good horns measure 45 inches or more in length. In 
 some animals the horns are nearly parallel, in others widely spread. 
 Feyiale horns shorter and more slender in build. General colour 
 very dark brown, the coat appearing quite glossy ; rump, front of 
 thighs, and belly white, the white underparts sharply contrasting 
 with the dark flanks. Face markings somewhat like those of the 
 Roan, but no light patches behind eyes, and the dark frontal and 
 nasal marking extends almost to end of nose ; below this is a well- 
 defined white lateral face stripe, communicating posteriorly with 
 the white tufted areas above eyes. A dark eye-stripe extends 
 along sides of face to just below posterior border of nostril. Lips, 
 muzzle, sides and underparts of lower jaw white. In the females 
 the coat is never as dark as in the adult males, a rufous tint 
 predominating. 
 
 Best horn measurements (No. 19. 7. 15. 393) : length on

 Writing in 1881* Selous makes the following statement about 
 the distribution of the Sable Antelope : "At the present day 
 a few Sable Antelopes are still to be found in South-western 
 Matabele Land, in the neighbourhood of Ramokwebani, Shashani, 
 and Samookwe rivers (tributaries of the Shashe). Along the 
 waggon-road leading from Tati to the Zambesi it may be 
 met with here and there, but is decidedly scarce. All along 
 the Chobe river, as far as I have been, I have met with this 
 Antelope, though sparingly. In the Mababe country, and on the 
 road leading from there to Bamangwato, I neither saw a Sable 
 Antelope nor the spoor of one, and do not think its range extends 
 so far to the west. In the broken country to the south of the 
 Victoria Falls, in the neighbourhood of the Pendamatenka and 
 Daka rivers, it is not uncommon, but its true home is the higher 
 portions of the Mashuna country to the north-east of the Matabele 
 
 country On the Manica plateau, north of the Zambesi, 
 
 Sable Antelopes are also to be met with."

 A large Bushbuck, in the adult stage very richly coloured. 
 Head and sides of face bright rufous-buff with dark nose-stripe ; 
 across the latter there sometimes occurs a white chevron marking. 
 Two well-defined white spots below eye. General colour dark 
 brown sprinkled with buff. Indistinct white stripes on flanks and 
 spots on haunches. The type of this race is an immature female, 
 the colour of the coat being considerably paler than in the adult 
 phase. Neither of the two heads in the Collection has the white 
 chevron marking on the face. Horns fairly large, good horns 
 measuring 16 inches in length.

 Provinces being separated as a distinct race under the name 
 Tragelaphus scriptus olivaceus *. 
 
 From examination of the material in the Museum Collection 
 and views expressed by recent observers in the field it appears that 
 the forms described under the names tj<ederi t brunneus, and 
 eldomce must be regarded as having been founded merely on 
 various colour phases of delamerei. The type localities of these 
 three forms are only a short distance from Sayer, the type locality 
 of delamerei, the distances varying from 70 to 120 miles.

 Size about as in the typical race, smaller than delamerei with 
 shorter horns. General colour above reddish brown, darker below ; 
 six to eight indistinct transverse white bands on sides of body. 
 Longitudinal white stripes absent, but spots below transverse 
 bands tend to form a lower longitudinal stripe, but not a well- 
 defined line as is found in the Senegal scriptus. A number of 
 large white spots on haunches and three or four on shoulders. 
 Face markings much as in delamerei, the white chevron mark in 
 front of eyes may be either well defined or entirely absent. Short- 
 haired collar and white chest band as in delamerei. A female 
 specimen in the Museum Collection, shot by Selous at Linyanti, 
 the type locality, has only three very indistinct white bands on 
 the sides and not nearly so many white spots on the haunches 
 as the adult males have.

THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 05 
 
 Selous in his account of the Bushbucks of South Africa * 
 states as follows : " In speaking of this antelope, I include all the 
 Bushbucks that I have met with in different parts of the country, 
 and which, although those found on the banks of the Chobe are 
 very different at first sight, both as regards size and colour, from 
 those met with in the Cape Colony, I believe to be all specifically 
 identical. 
 
 " This Antelope is found everywhere in the belt of bush running 
 all along the coast-line of the Cape Colony and Natal, and which 
 in some places extends to a considerable distance inland. Along 
 the Limpopo and some of its tributaries it is also found, but does 
 not extend its range far up the latter. Then if we cross the water- 
 shed between that river and the Zambesi, we again meet with it on 
 the banks of the latter river and on the lower part of some of its 
 tributaries, such as the Gwai and Sanyati. In certain districts along 
 the southern bank of the Chobe it is more common than anywhere 
 else. It is, however, never met with except in places where dense 
 bush comes right down to the water's edge, and on the Chobe, 
 where I have seen most of these Antelopes, I have never found 
 one at a distance of 100 yards from the river. From the Cape 
 Colony to the Chobe all the Bushbucks I have seen have a bare 
 place round the neck, as if they had worn a broad collar, that had 
 rubbed off all the long hair, leaving nothing but a soft velvety 
 down. It is worthy of remark that the North-African 
 Bushbuck (Tragelaplius scriptui) has not this bare place round 
 the neck. In the Cape Colony the adult Bushbuck rams are of a 
 deep dark brownish-black colour, with only two or three small 
 white spots on the haunch and one or two on the shoulder. The 
 adult females are of a light reddish brown, with white spots on the 
 haunches, and sometimes a few between the shoulder and the 
 flank. The young rams are of a reddish brown, more or less 
 spotted. On the Limpopo the adult rams are of a brownish gray, 
 often without a sign of any spots, and the adult females of a dark 
 red, with a few white spots. The hair of the rams is longer than 
 in the Colony 
 
 "This is' the Bushbuck which Gordon Gumming considered to 
 be a new and undescribed species and named the 'Antelopus

 roualeynei] or 'Bushhuck of the Limpopo.' These Bushbucks 
 
 are smaller than those found in the Cape Colony If we 
 
 now take the Bushbucks found on the banks of the Chobe, we 
 find that the adult male is of a very dark red colour, in places 
 merging into a deep brownish black, most beautifully spotted with 
 large white spots, there being as many as fifty on each side in 
 some individuals, and in some cases as many as eight well-defined 
 white stripes besides. There is also a mane of white hair running 
 all down the back from the shoulder to the tail, about 3 inches in 
 
 length, and which the animal can erect at pleasure " 
 
 The Cape Bushbuek described in the above is the animal now 
 known as TragelapJius scriptus sylvaticus.

 Closely allied to the Somaliland Lesser Kudu. Size about as in 
 the Nyala. Horns easily distinguished from those of the Bush- 
 bucks, Nyala, and Sitatunga by the greater development of the 
 spiral twist, there being at least two-and-a-half turns ; distinctly 
 ridged and rather smaller than in the typical race. Ears large ; 
 throat fringe absent. General colour darker than in the Somali-

 Size very large, height at shoulder 50 to 52 inches. Differs 
 from the Lesser Kudu in having a well-developed fringe on throat 
 and chest, and much larger horns, in good specimens from 55 to 
 64 inches along curve. General colour of body greyish brown, 
 sometimes bluish grey or tinted with rufous ; nine or ten transverse 
 white stripes on side of body. In the East African and Sudan 
 races the body stripes are less numerous. 
 
 The Collection contains a very fine series of this handsome 
 Antilope. No. 19. 7. 15. 417 has the best horns : length on 
 curve 60| ; in straight line from point to base 45| ; circumference 
 11| ; spread from tip to tip 33. Another good head is 
 No. 19. 7. 15. 420, which has the following horn measurements : 
 length on curve 63f ; in straight line from point to base 41 ; 
 circumference 10 ; spread from tip to tip 23. The spread of the 
 horns is very variable ; the maximum tip to tip interval in this 
 series occurs in No. 19. 7. 15. 426, being as much as 43 inches. 
 The minimum spread from tip to tip is 16 inches (No. 19. 7. 15.428). 
 The female head (No. 19. 7. 15. 419) is a very exceptional specimen 
 as it possesses well-developed horns, one of which measures as 
 much as 30 inches from point to base. Selous* writing in his 
 diary of this specimen makes the following statement : " 1 rode 
 on to the carcase of this Koodoo cow just after it had been killed 
 by wild dogs, which I drove off, when near Bamangwato in 
 Khama's country in March, 1888. Altogether I have seen many 
 hundreds of female Koodoos, but this is the only one I ever saw 
 with horns." 
 
 Typical locality, Cape Colony ; range extends northwards across 
 Zambesi into Northern Rhodesia. Writing in 1881 f on the 
 distribution of the Kudu in South Africa, Selous makes the 
 following remarks : " A few Koodoos still linger in the Cape 
 Colony, and in parts of Griqualand West they are not uncommon.

 From the Limpopo to the Zambesi, however, and in the Manica 
 country to the north of 'the Zambesi, it is found in the neighbour- 
 hood of every river I have visited except in those places where the 
 natives have exterminated it. It is usually partial to hilly country 
 covered with dense thickets ; but hills are by no means necessary 
 to its existence, as it is common in the thick bush along both 
 banks of the river Chobe, where there are no hills whatever, and 
 it is also plentiful in the wait-a-bit thorn-jungle on the lower 
 Molapo, just on the edge of the flat and sandy Kalahari Desert . .

 Elands are characterised by their very large size and the 
 presence of horns in both sexes, those of the females longer and 
 more slender than in the males ; horns with a large keel, and in the 
 form of a screw-like spiral. The Mashonaland Eland is closely 
 allied to the typical race, Taurotragus oryx oryx, distinguished by 
 the presence oi' a number of light body-stripes, which are well- 
 defined in immature specimens, but tend to become very indistinct 
 in old age. In young and sub-adult specimens a white suborbital 
 streak is present ; in old males this marking disappears, the whole 
 forehead and upper part of nose being covered by a dense tuft-like 
 growth of brown hair. 
 
 The male head with the best horns is No. 19.7.15.434: 
 length from point to base 31 k ; circumference 13; spread from tip 
 to tip 12. A considerable amount of variation is found in the 
 spread of the horns of this antelope ; in one specimen (No. 
 19. 7. 15. 439) the tip to tip interval is as much as 20| inches. 
 The largest female horns (No. 19. 7. 15. 437) measure as follows : 
 length from point to base 32 ; circumference 8| ; spread from tip 
 to tip 20f . 
 
 Typical locality, Umfuli River, Mashonaland, Southern 
 llhodesia. Selous *, writing in 1881 on the distribution of the 
 South African Elands, states as follows: "The Eland is now 
 extinct in the Cape Colony, Natal, the Orange Free State, Griqua- 
 land West, and the Transvaal, and almost so in all the countries 
 watered by the tributaries of the Limpopo, to the west of the 
 Matabele country. In the Kalahari Desert to the west of Secheli's 
 and Bamangwato it is plentiful, but never now comes as far east- 
 ward as the waggon-road between the two places. North of 
 Bamangwato, along the roads leading to the Lake Ngarni, and to 
 the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi, there are always a few Elands to

THE sELOtlS COLLECTION. 73 
 
 be found, though they are usually very scarce In all the 
 
 country between the Botletlie and Chobe rivers, Elands are still 
 to be found in greater or lesser numbers, and I have often seen 
 herds of over a hundred together. In the dry desert country 
 
 through which the Chobe runs they are particularly plentiful 
 
 Between the Chobe and Zambesi rivers I found Elands plentiful, and 
 so far as I went to the north of the Zambesi I also found them. . . " 
 
 The characters that have been used to distinguish the various 
 races or so-called races of South African Eland are very unsatis- 
 factory, and it seems highly probable that in this area only two 
 forms can be recognized (1) the extinct Cape Eland, the typical 
 race ; and (2) the Zambesi or Mashonaland race. If such be the 
 case the present form would have to be called livingstonei, a name 
 bestowed by Sclater on the Zambesi Eland in 1864*, and the names 
 selousi, niediecki, and Icaufmanni would become synonymous. 
 The absence of the white suborbital marking and extreme develop- 
 ment of the dark frontal tuft are signs of old age ; the shape and 
 extent of these white suborbital markings and frontal tufts are 
 obviously characters associated with sex and age, and cannot be 
 used for systematic diagnosis. The same is true of the almost 
 complete disappearance of some of the white body-stripes, which 
 in old age appear to get very indistinct, although never entirely 
 absent as they are in both the young and adult of the typical race 
 from the Cape. 
 
 In this connection it is of interest to see what Selous' view 
 was in 1881 when he wrote the paper for the Zoological Society 
 quoted above. 
 
 " The skins of Elands that I have seen from the Kalahari desert 
 have no signs of a stripe upon them, and the dark mark above the 
 knee on the inside of the fore leg is either very faint or altogether 
 wanting. In April 1879 I shot several Eland cows about sixty 
 miles north of Bamangwato, on the road to Lake Ngami. I 
 looked at all of them very carefully, but could not detect the 
 faintest sign of a stripe, though some of them had the patches on 
 the inside of the fore legs of a light gray colour. During the

74 THE SELOtTS COLLECTION. 
 
 following months I shot many Elands on the eastern bank of the 
 Botletlie river, on the Mababe, and on both sides of the Chobe 
 river. Every one of these Elands was more or less striped, some so 
 faintly as to be barely perceptible, some very plainly. In the 
 Mashuna country, again, to the north-east of the Matabele 
 country, every Eland cow is very plainly striped, many of them 
 having the stripes quite as plain as they are on a Koodoo, and the 
 patches on the inside of the fore legs of a deep black. The one 
 Eland (a cow) which I shot to the north of the Zambesi was 
 beautifully marked, having nine broad white stripes on each side, 
 and a broad black line down the centre of the back. Elands that 
 are much striped often have a whitish mark across the nose, in the 
 same place as in the Koodoo. 
 
 " Old Eland bulls have very little hair on their skins, and look a 
 dark slaty-blue colour, owing to the colour of the skin showing 
 through the scanty hair, and on these old animals, naturally 
 enough, no sign of stripes can be perceived. Old cows also turn 
 to a slate colour from the same cause. In every large herd of 
 Elands, cows are to be seen of every shade of colour from pale 
 fawn to bluish gray. Therefore your old hunter, who knows of 
 four species of Lions, and six or seven Rhinoceroses, says that there 
 are two or three distinct species of Elands, the blue, the yellow, 
 and the striped "

 Very closely allied to the foregoing race ; general colour rather 
 darker, with a darker mane. As in the case of the Mashonaland 
 race the white suborbital markings are only present in animals not 
 very advanced in age, and similarly the gradual increase of size of 
 the frontal tuft from a dark central streak to a broad long-haired 
 growth is' also a change brought about by age. 
 
 The only specimen of this Eland in the Collection is a bull with 
 horns measuring as follows : length from point to base 24 ; circum- 
 ference 10| ; spread from tip to tip 10|. 
 
 Typical locality, Laikipia Plateau, Naivasha Province, Kenya 
 Colony ; range includes the greater part of Kenya Colony, the race 
 extending as far north as the Northern Guaso Nyiro Valley, and 
 penetrating northwards from the typical locality into Uganda. It 
 also occurs in Tanganyika Territory and further south probably 
 merges with the Mashonaland form.

 considerably less dark hair on neck and throat. The Giant or 
 Derby Elands are quite distinct from Taurotragus oryx, having 
 larger horns, and much broader ears, with black band ou inner side 
 of hind margins. General colour richer, forehead in females 
 chestnut-red; in old bulls a tuft-like growth of darker hair de- 
 velops. White suborbital markings distinct, in the form of two 
 narrow white streaks, separated by a dark brown nose-stripe. 
 White spots on sides of face and white bar across lower throat, 
 which is fringed with a narrow mane of dark brown hairs. 
 
 The only specimen of this Eland in the Collection is a female, 
 the horns of which measure as follows : length from point to base

 This Giraffe was originally described as a race of camelopardalis ; 
 owing to its very distinct colour pattern it appears worthy of full 
 specific rank. It is, however, quite possible that when more is 
 known concerning the East African Giraffes it may be found 
 that reticulata grades into the Uganda Giraffe (G-. camelopar- 
 dalis roihschildi) to the west of the Laikipia District and Lake 
 Rudolf, and into the Masai race (6r. camelopardalis tippehkirclii) 
 south of the Tana River.

 Selous * gives the following information on the distribution of this 
 Giraffe in the year 1881: "This animal, though its range has 
 been sadly reduced since the days of Gordon Gumming, is never- 
 theless still to be found in considerable numbers over a vast extent 
 of country to the south of the Zambesi river. In parts of the 
 Kalahari desert it is said to abound, and in all the dry sandy 
 district between Bamangwato and Lake Ngami, and thence to the 
 Mababe, Chobe, and Zambesi rivers, it is also very numerous. 
 Along portions of the Botletlie river, and in the waterless but 
 forest-clad sand-belts on the southern bank of the Chobe, it is 
 particularly plentiful. In the country between the Chobe and the 
 Zambesi, the Giraffe is also found, in the neighbourhood of 
 Lin van ti ; but it is not nearly so numerous there as on the other 
 side of the former river. Immediately north of the Zambesi it is 
 unknown, though it appears to be plentiful in parts of Central and 
 Eastern Africa. In some parts of the Matabele country it is also 
 common, but until the last few years was never found eastwards of 
 the river Gwelo, though it was always very plentiful in the sand- 
 belts to the westward of that river "

 Rhinoceros, distinguished by the shorter head, the skull being con- 
 siderably shorter and not elongated posteriorly beyond condyles ; 
 seven cheek-teeth on each side, the first premolar remaining 
 throughout life. Front horn with rounded base. Upper lip 
 pointed and hook-shaped. The prominent hump on the neck, so 
 characteristic a feature of simus, is absent. The typical race is 
 very like the Somali form, size rather larger, and with skull 
 slightly more concave dorsally. 
 
 Typical locality, Cape Colony. The range at one time extended 
 from the Cape northwards to Uganda ; at the present time the 
 Black Rhinoceros is quite extinct in Cape Colony and is only found 
 in a few localities south of the Zambesi. In East Africa this race 
 is not found in the desert regions of the Northern Guaso Nyiro or 
 east of the Tana River, where its place is taken by the Somali 
 form. It appears tha.t the Black Rhinoceros was exterminated in 
 Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony by the year 1853. 
 
THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 83 
 
 Selous * gives the following account of the distribution of tins 
 Rhinoceros during the period 1872 to 1881. "... I now come to 
 the Prehensile-lipped Rhinoceros (H. bicornis), of which 1 main- 
 tain there is but one true species, in spite of whatever may be said 
 by old Dutch hunters or natives to the contrary. This animal is 
 still fairly numerous in many districts of South-Eastern Africa, 
 although, like its congener, the Square-mouthed Rhinoceros, it has 
 been almost exterminated in the more westerly portions of the 
 country. In 1879 there were still two or three drinking in the 
 Upper Chobe, to the north-west of the Sunta outlet. Between 
 the Chobe and the Zambesi there are none, and according to the 
 natives there never were any there, even when the Makololo first 
 came into the country ; but directly the Zambesi has been crossed 
 they are again found, and extend apparently through all Central 
 Africa right up to Abyssinia. The Prehensile-lipped Rhinoceros 
 lives exclusively upon bush and roots, eating not only the young 
 leaves as they sprout from the end of a twig, but also chewing up 
 a good deal of the twig itself. It is owing to the fact that this 
 species lives upon bush that its range is very much more extended 
 than that of the Square-mouthed Rhinoceros ; for there are many 
 large districts of country in the neighbourhood of the Zambesi 
 to the eastward of the Victoria Falls covered almost entirely with 
 an endless succession of rugged hills, almost devoid of grass, though 
 well wooded, in all of which districts the Prehensile-lipped Rhino- 
 ceros is numerous, as it thrives well upon the scrubby bush with 
 which the hill-sides and valleys are covered ; whereas the square- 
 mouthed species, though common in the forest-clad sand- belts and 
 broad grassy valleys which always skirt the hills, is seldom or 
 never found amongst the hills themselves, which is doubtless 
 because the pasturage is too scanty to enable them to exist. ..." 
 
 It was in the same paper that Selous very clearly showed that 
 Rhinoceros keitloa^ was simply a variety of bicornis.

 smaller teeth. The longest horn on record of the South African 
 race is 62 \ inches in length. 
 
 Typical locality, Cape Colony ; range formerly extended over the 
 greater part of Africa south of the Zambesi. As a wild animal 
 the South African White Rhinoceros is now extinct, a few still 
 survive in a semi-wild state under Government protection. 
 
 Writing in the year 1881 concerning the White Rhinoceros 
 Selous states as follows * : " . . . Twenty years ago this animal 
 seems to have been very plentiful in the western half of Southern 
 Africa ; now, unless it is still to be found between the Okavango 
 and Cunene rivers, it must be almost extinct in that portion of 
 the country. And this is not to be wondered at, when one reads 
 the accounts in Andersson's and Chapman's books of their shooting 
 as many as eight of these animals in one night, as they were 
 drinking at a small water-hole ; for it must be remembered that 
 these isolated water-holes, at the end of the dry season, represented 
 all the water to be found over an enormous extent of country, and 
 that therefore all the rhinoceroses that in happier times were dis- 
 tributed over many hundreds of square miles were in times of 
 drought dependent upon perhaps a single pool for their supply of 
 water. In 1877, during several months' hunting in the country to 
 the south of Linyanti, on the river Chobe, I only saw the spoor of 
 two Square-mouthed Rhinoceroses, though in 1874 I had found 
 them fairly plentiful in the same district ; whilst in 1879, during 
 eight months spent in hunting on and between the Botletlie, 
 Mababe, Machabe, Sunta, and Upper Chobe rivers, I never saw 
 the spoor of one of these animals, and all the Bushmen I met with 
 said they were finished. In 1878 and 1880, however, I still found 
 them fairly numerous in a small tract of country in North-eastern 
 Mashuna Land, between the Uinniati and Hanyane rivers. Their 
 range, however, is rather limited towards the north, as they only 
 inhabit the country tying to the south of the belt of rough stony 
 hills which in this district extend for more than a hundred miles 
 southwards from the banks of the Zambesi river. Their exter- 
 mination in this portion of the country may therefore, I am afraid,

 be expected within a very few years ; and the Square-mouthed 
 Khinoceros will then only exist in a few small tracts of S.E. Africa, 
 in the neighbourhood of the river Sabi."

 Lydekker in his original description gave the following informa- 
 tion concerning this race : " I think I am justified in regarding 
 the Mashonaland Elephant as a distinct race, for which the name 
 JE. africanus selousi would be appropriate ; the specimen in the 
 Imperial Institute being regarded as the type. 
 
 " The race will be characterised by the ears being of considerable 
 size, with the margin rounded, and the inferior lappet large, 
 pointed, and extending inwards to some extent beneath the lower 
 jaw and throat. In this respect they are unlike those of other 
 East African Elephants " 
 
 Typical locality, Mashonaland, Southern Rhodesia. 
 
88 THE SELOUS COLLECTION. 
 
 The characters that distinguish selousi from capemis do not 
 appear to be of great systematic value ; it is probable that the 
 name capemis will eventually have to be used for this Mashona- 
 land Elephant, the elephants from all the area south of the 
 Zambesi being regarded as representing a single race.
