along the front curve, with a girth of from 10^ to 12, and 

 a tip-to-tip interval of from 7 to 17 inches. 



The range originally extended from the Cape Town 

 district as far north as tlie Limpopo on the eastern side of 

 the continent and somewhat further north on the western 

 side, on the borders of the Kalaliari Desert ; it thus included 

 Cape Colony, Basutoland, the X.W. Transvaal, and British 

 Bechuanaland. 



Tlie Basuto hartebeests now live in mountainous country, 

 at an elevation at Avhich much snow falls in winter.

12. 10. 10. 1. Skin, mounted (fig. 4). Kimberley Game 

 Farm, imported from Transvaal. Type of selbornei. The pale 

 colouring and imperfect development of the dark markings 

 in this specimen seem to be abnormal or due to immatuiity, 

 as other heads from the Kimberley herd show full develo[)- 

 ment of the face-blaze. Presented by the Be Beers Mininy 



Co. {at the instccnce of the Ectrl oj Selborne, K.G.), 1912.
