Du Chaillu's figure seems to be a slightly altered copy of the figure 

 of E. Angusii in the ' Proceedings of the Zoologic;d Society.' 



Afzelius, in ' N. A. Sci. Upsal. ' 1815, viii. fig. 3, figures a horn 

 27 inches long. The horns described by Ogilby, P. Z. S. 1836, ' 

 p. 120, are 31 inches long, and they are in the British Museum. 



A nearly full-grown male ?, without the sheaths to the horns, 

 received from M. du Chaillu, and the specimen described in his 

 work as the Bongo Antelope, T. albovirgatus (p. 306, t. 4-4). Bright 

 orange-yellow, with fifteen narrow regular white bands across the 

 body, not regTilarly placed and not symmetrical on the two sides ; 

 nape with a narrow black streak, which is narrow, white, with a 

 few black hairs along the vertebral line. Legs blackish in front, 

 white-spotted, with a large white spot over each hoof. A white 

 crescent before the eye and on the chest. The gullet black. 



This animal is very like the female E. AngasU, but very much larger, 

 and with very short, close-pressed hair ; while in E. Anyasli the hair 

 is long and soft, and the dorsal crest is black. I should be inclined 

 to regard it as a female, as it has no appearance of any scrotum, but 

 for the presence of horns. 



The skull shows that it is full-grown — with perfect teeth, but the 

 sutures are not obliterated ; no distinct concavity in front of the 

 orbit ; intermaxillaries elongate, narrow*, reaching to the nasals ; 

 horns placed far behind the orbits. 



An imperfect adult skuH in the British Museum, which has lost 

 its intermaxillary bones, is 14 inches from the occiput to the end of 

 the maxilla, and 6 inches wide at the back of the or])it. The horns 

 are 27g inches long.
