Typical locality north-east of Lake Eiidolf. 



Type in Tring Museum. 



In this species, which may be only a race of cokei, the 

 horns are intermediate to a certain extent between those of 

 the tora-cokci and those of the lelwel-caama group. Those 

 of the male are thicker and less divergent, with less distinct 

 ridges, than those of tora, while they do not present the 

 distinct V-shape characteristic of lelwcl. Their tips are 

 directed inwards and backwards. General colour fulvous 

 fawn, richer on the back than on flanks, and much paler 

 on under-parts ; chin blackish, and tail- tuft black.

* Heller does not actually use this name, but states that the horns 

 of the type specimens of this hartebeest are " practically the shape of 

 those of tora, of which neumanni appears to be a race."
