gust. (D. pygargus.) 
The topi is well represented in the collection by specimens from the 
Sotik and from the Guas Ngishu Plateau. There are no specimens 
from near the type localities of three forms described in 1914 by 
Blaine:?? Damaliscus korrigum topi from the coastal region of British 
East Africa between the Juba and Sabaki Rivers; Damaliscus 
korrigum ugande from southwestern Ankole, Uganda; and Damalis- 
cus korrigum eurus from the plains of the upper Ruaha River, German 
Hast Africa. <A closely related species, Damaliscus tang (Heuglin), 
of Sudan, together with its described geographical races, is also 
unrepresented in the collection. It is possible that the tiang and the 
topi are only subspecifically distinct.
