Animals obtained by H.H. Johnston around Kilima-Njaro. Three horns, Taveita, 2300 feet, end of October. Very common on the elevated plains at the base of Kilima-njaro but not ascending the mountain itself. Is not found in the true forest, but only in the bush. These horns were brought in to Mr Johnston by the Akamba people who obtain them by killing the animals with poisoned arrows.
