Genus CERVICAPRA. (Vol. II. p. 155.)
Cervicapra thomasinæ.
Cervicapra thomasinæ, Scl. P. Z. S. 1900 (May 8th).
Under this name Sclater has recently described and figured a species of Reedbuck, met with in Nyasaland, which he has characterized as follows:—“C. quoad formam C. arundinum fere similis, sed colore albo, in dorso cineraceo et pedibus antice fulvo-brunneis, ut videtur, satis diversa: alt. ad humeros 35 poll.—Hab. in ripis Laci Nyasæ, Afr. or.”
Cervicapra fulvorufula subalbina.
Cervicapra fulvorufula subalbina, Kirby, P. Z. S. 1897, p. 897.
This is either a partially albino variety or a local form of Cervicapra fulvorufula, discovered by Mr. F. V. Kirby, F.Z.S., on the mountains of the Lydenburg district of the Transvaal. It differs from typical specimens in having the legs white from the knees down, white hoofs, a pure white tail above and beneath, a white spot on the forehead, and a more or less clearly defined white stripe down the back of the neck and along the dorsal line.
There are two specimens of this Antelope in the British Museum, presented by Mr. Kirby.
