above knees blackish, and the pasterns black except for a 

 pair of small white spots above hoofs ; hind- legs (in type) 

 similarly coloured, but paler above, with a white patch in 

 front of hocks. 



T. tjcederi, of which the typical locality is Nakuru, 

 B. E. Africa, only a comparatively short distance west of 

 Kenia (from which it is separated by the Aberdare Eange), 

 was described as differing from delamcrci by the under-parts 

 being darker than the back, by the larger throat and chest 

 bands, and by the presence of a white stripe on front of hind- 

 shanks and of a white dorsal crest. Most or all of these 

 points of difference are due to differences of sex or age. The 

 type is in the U.S. National Museum, Washington.
