Mr. Sclater called attention to two mounted heads of Swayne's Antelope 1 (Bubalis swaynei), which had been kindly lent to him by Messrs. Rowland Ward & Co. These were the specimens obtained by Mr. T. W . H . Clarke and Colonel Paget, and other members of the same party, which were alluded to in the • Field' of March 26, 1892 (vol. lxxvi. p. 432), and one of which was there figured. Mr. Sclater remarked that the heads now exhibited were evidently those of a male and female, the male in this, as in other species of the genus Bubalis, differing in the stouter and thicker horns. Mr. Sclater stated that Prof. Giglioli, of Florence, had kindly sent him a coloured drawing of the head of an Antelope obtained by Count August Boutourline and Dr. Traversi in Shoa in 1882, which had been referred by Dr. Giglioli (Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 1 See above, p. 98. |
