Nearly related to Biihalis, but withers generally less 

 elevated, and the skull with the frontals not prolonged 

 upwards to form a horn-pedicle, so that the parietal aspect 

 looks upwards instead of backwards, and. the face is shorter. 

 Horns forming a simpler sigmoid curve, without a distinct 

 ^' elbow" at the backward bend. Hair of face directed 

 uniformly upwards ; face-glands small and not tufted. 



The range of the genus includes such portions of 

 Ethiopian Africa {i.e. Africa south of the Atlas and tlie 

 northern tropic) as are suited to the habits of its members.
