mewhat mixed with hoary white from the basal parts of the 

 hair. The back of the ears is rufous but with broad white 

 areas on either side, the tip is black and the inside white. 

 The upper side of the neck is rufous with black tips to the 

 hairs, but the sides and the lower parts of the neck behind 

 the white throat patch is of a mixed greyish brown colour 

 produced by the hairs having their distal parts blackish and 

 their basal parts light grey partly rufous. The colour of the 

 body is also mixed in a peculiar manner. It is dark brown, 

 in some lights almost blackish brown, but to a certain degree 

 mixed with red, This is effepted by the hairs having long 

 black tips and rufous bases, and besides some scattered hairs 

 are (basally or whoUy) whitish. Towards the root of the 

 tail and at the borders of the white rump-patch the rufous 

 colour is more dominating but otherwise the whole animal 

 is much darker than the rufous brown typical C öhus dejassa. 

 The hairs are rather short only measuring about 2 cm. on 

 the back and sides. 



The under parts are dark brownish grey, the distal parts 

 of the hairs being dark smoky brown and the basal parts 

 hoary grey. The posterior part of the belly from the inguinal 

 tract to round the navel whitish with long hairs. At the 

 prepuce a tuft of brown hairs is placed. The legs and feet 

 are black with a brownish shade in front. A narrow white 

 line round the hoofs. The tail is proximally coloured like 

 the back, distally it is almost black, and so is the tuft; below 

 it is white. Its length without the tuft is about 32 cm. The 

 length of the ears is about 22 cm. 



The horns appear to be rather short and stout and less 

 curved when compared with a typical dejassa. Their length 

 along the anterior curvature is about 48 cm. and their basal 

 circumference about I8V2 cm. They are provided with 20 

 rings. This shortness of the horns is not due to youthful- 

 ness as the animal to judge from the well worn molars might 

 be termed middle-aged. 



Basal length of skull 374 mm.
