There are two forms of lechwe, the typical Red Lechwe (Onotragus leche leche. Gray) and the Black (O.l. smithemani. Lyd.), while a few surviving in the Mweru area to the north-west of the smithemani race, are of doubtful status. The present paper considers the red lechwe only, and that within Northern Rhodesia proper. The author has no knowledge of the animal outside the territory, nor in the Barotse province.
