94 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



e. — Bubalus uvimdicus, Matschie, Bcrof. Inst. Jagclhundc, voL ii. 

 pp. 169 and 170, fig. 83, 1913. 



Typical locality south-east Unmdi, Geriiian East Africa. 



Stated to differ from the preceding form {wintgcnsi) by 

 the relatively shorter skull, and by the horns being wider at 

 the base and more downwardly inclined, with the sharp tips 

 directed more suddenly inwards, and more bent backwards ; 

 they also diminish abruptly in calilire at aljout the middle 

 of their length, and at their origin from the forehead are 

 directed more backwards and less outwards. 



K.— Bos cafFer sequinoctialis (p. 58). 



Allen, Bull. Mus. Zool. Harvard, vol. Iviii, p. 308, 

 considers that Matschie's B. c. azrakcnsis (vol. i, p. 57) is 

 inseparable from this race ; the long, backwardly-directed 

 horn-tips of the type of the former lieing apparently an 

 individual peculiarity of an immature animal. 



P.— Bos caffer brachyceros (p. G2). 



Xo. 10. .". IG. 1, vol. i, p. (U, apparently Ijelongs to this 

 race. 



P^— Bos caffer houyi. 



Bubalus caffer houvi, Schwarz, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 8, voL xiii, 

 p. 494, 1914. 



Typical locality Pelle, near Gore, Logone Valley, 

 Camerun frontier.

 expanded horns, of which the tips are less nearly vertical ; 

 general colour ranging from reddish brown to black, with
