694 AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 



Kilimanjaro in the British Museum is without indications 

 of shadow stripes. There is in the National Museum a single 

 old male specimen representing this race, collected by the 

 Rainey expedition at Mtoto Andei Station in the desert 

 nyika zone. This specimen Is decidedly larger than any 

 of the highland race, has a larger skull, broader stripes on 

 the quarters, and more buffy ground-color, but is without 

 any trace of shadow stripes. It Is evident from this speci- 

 men that the coast race is a larger form having a somewhat 

 more buffy tinge to the light stripes. Owing to the aged 

 character of this specimen the mane on the nape Is reduced 

 to a thin line of short black hair an Inch in length. The 

 nose has the tan blotch between the nostrils and the tips 

 of the forehead stripes well marked as in the males of 

 granti. The dark stripes are also deep black, as in granti, 

 and are quite the same In arrangement. The width of the 

 broadest stripes on the hind quarters is somewhat greater, 

 being 3^ inches. The flesh measurements of this specimen 

 were: head and body, 91 inches; tail, 18 inches; hind foot, 

 22 Inches; ear, yyi Inches. The greatest length of the skull 

 is 22 inches. 



The coast race is found In well-watered districts through- 

 out the coast plain and the desert bush country. On the 

 lower slopes or plains of Kilimanjaro it is especially abun- 

 dant. In the thorn scrub of the desert nyika they are only 

 found locally in the vicinity of a permanent water supply. 

 Herds have been seen near Mtoto Andei Station and also 

 near the coast at Majl ya Chumvi. They have also been 

 reported on the lower Tana River and the lower Sabaki 

 River.
