A bushbuck with fifteen-inch horns is considered a fine prize, although horns of nineteen inches are on record.
The other members of the same family of spiral-horned antelopes are the kudu, the lesser kudu, the situtunga, the nyala, the bongo, and the lordly eland, king of all antelopes in size.

The kudu is largely protected in East Africa, and in my shooting experience I was not in a district where he was to be found.

The same was true with respect to the lesser kudu.

The nyala is a South African species and is not to be found in British East Africa.

The situtunga is a swamp dweller and is found chiefly in Uganda and, to my knowledge, infrequently in the East African protectorate.
The bongo is to the white sportsman what the north pole has been to explorers for centuries.
