The Eppo.

The Times of London announces the discovery by Captain Phillips in British Ruanda of a species of duiker. The natives know it as an eppo orempuyl and regard it with a good deal of respect as the totem-beast of Muslnga, the now reigning chief of that country of Ruanda, the greater part of which the peace conference has placed under the tutelage of/Belgium. The bamboo forest of Mount Sabino and other mountain forests provide the habitat of the eppo. In appearance the creature resembles a large goat and is a rufous black with a bright yellow stripe aldhg about half its lackbone. It has a stumpy tall, oribi horns, and marsh hoofs.
