GERMAN East Arrica: Southeast of Ikoma, 1 (E. Clark). 
Specimens from the Guas Ngishu Plateau and the Sotik, British 
Hast Africa, and from northern German Hast Africa appear to be 
subspecifically indistinguishable. Specimens with whitish face mark- 
ings occasionally are found anywhere within the range of the species. 
Heller examined the type-specimen of Damalis j1mela Matschie 
in the Berlin Museum. His manuscript notes state that Matschie 
considers No. 8698, a frontlet with horns, asthe type. The original 
account of the coloration of the species, somewhat erroneous, was 
based on a painting by Béhm of a specimen from central German 
Kast Africa. | 
The weight of one female specimen from the Southern Guaso 
Nyiro is recorded in the field catalogue as 260 pounds.
