 If this species be the true Antllope hoha of Erxleben, its proper 



title would be Damaliscns hoha, unless the name A. koha be regarded 



as too like A. kob to be admissable. 



Korrigum, or Tiang. 



Typical locality Bornii. 



Size large ; shoulder-height from about 4 feet to 4 feet 

 2 inches. General colour some shade of rich rufous, usually 

 with a black blaze on the face, blue-black patches on the 

 shoulders, hips, and thighs, which form garters on the limbs 

 above the knees and hocks, a black tail-crest, no dark dorsal 

 stripe, and the lower part of the limbs coloured more or less 

 nearly like the body. Tail barely reaching hocks, with crest 

 occupying terminal third. Horns thick, heavily ridged, and 

 sublyrate in form, rising abruptly upwards and then curving 

 backwards, with a regular and medium divergence ; the 

 extreme tips showing a tendency to recurve upwards. Good 

 horns of the typical race measure from 24 to 28J inches 

 along the front curve, with a girth of from 9 to 10 J, and a 

 tip-to-tip interval of from 4| to 14 inches.
