488 AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 



patch between the ears and the midUne of the snout is 

 speckled by dusky. The sides of the head are pure yellow- 

 ochre, but the orbital area is lighter buff in color. The chin 

 and the upper throat are cream color. The back of the ear 

 is much darker than the body, the general effect being snuff- 

 brown, but the hair covering itself is tawny. The inner side 

 and the base of the ears including the bare spot are cream- 

 buff. The legs are ochraceous-buff with a narrow, dusky- 

 brown stripe in front from the hoofs to the shoulder on the 

 forelegs, but only reaching half-way to the hocks on the 

 hind legs. The tail is tawny above, and white below, with 

 the tip chiefly white. The under-parts are pure white, and 

 sharply defined on the sides against the tawny-ochraceous; 

 the white reaches as far forward as the chest, and also ex- 

 tends as a narrow line down the inside of the legs. 



An adult female specimen measured in the flesh : 49 inches 

 in length of head and body; tail, 7K inches; hind foot, I5>^ 

 inches; ear, 6 inches. Greatest length of skull, 9>4 inches. 



Besides the specimens from the type locality, others have 

 been examined from Taveta, on the east slope of Kiliman- 

 jaro, collected by Doctor L. W. Abbott. Three of these 

 specimens are males, and exhibit short, narrow, and sharply 

 hooked horns, by which they are distinguishable from the 

 larger-horned wardi.

Range. — Highlands of Ankole, southwestern Uganda. 



Mr. Gilbert Blaine has recently described from the 

 highlands of Ankole in southwest Uganda a new race of 

 reedbuck differing from zi>ardi by its shorter, less-hooked 

 horns, and darker and browner color. Specimens in the 

 National Museum, collected in central Uganda from the 

 Maanja River, are not distinguishable from wardi from 

 the Uasin Gishu Plateau either in color or horn shape. The 

 three males from the Maanja River have their horns sharply 

 hooked forward as in typical wardi. The form described as 

 ugandcs may be a local race confined to the Ankole highlands 

 while central and eastern Uganda is occupied by wardi.
