 has been examined. Ward records a horn 40>i+ inches in 

 length secured in the Bahr el Ghazal by Captain F. G. 

 Poole. 



The specimens examined consist of the series collected 

 by the Smithsonian African expedition under the direction 

 of Colonel Roosevelt at Rhino Camp, Lado Enclave. The 

 precise geographical position of this spot is latitude 2° 55' 

 north, on the west bank of the Nile, some fifteen miles north 

 of the station of Wadelai. This material consists of four- 

 teen specimens: the complete skins and skeletons of two 

 adult males, two adult females, one calf, and one mature 

 foetus; the head skins and skulls of three adult females; 

 the skull of a male, and four weathered skulls found on 

 the veldt, two of which are undoubted males and two 

 females. Besides this material in the National Museum 

 the writers have examined specimens from South Africa 

 in the British, Paris, and Hamburg Museums as well as 

 Nile specimens in the Congo Museum at Brussels, and a 

 large series in the private museum of Major Powell-Cotton 

 at Quex Park, England.
