ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF SPECIMENS HORNS IN CAPE TOWN Ozinsky (1989) reported that a pair of horns was donated to the South African Museum in Cape Town. It came from the family collection of Mr J. Piek of Obser- vatory in Cape Town, but the earlier history is not known. It is likely that the horns belonged to the blue antelope. The horns are registered as catalogue number SAM-ZM40759 (Fig. 2). The distance from tip to tip has been measured as 150 mm, and the front length over the curvature of the right hand side is 611 mm (D. Drink- row, Collection Manager, South African Museum, in litt. November 1990)..
