Typical locality Abyssinia. As already mentioned, 

 Pocock (loc. cit.) is disposed to regard abyssinicus as not 

 more than subspecifically from coronatus, leaving open the 

 question whether the former — and therefore also the latter — 

 should be classed as a race of grimmi. 



Closely allied to the last ; the height being 18 inches at 

 the shoulder, the length of the ear 5 J-, and that of the 

 hind-foot 8j inches. General colour speckled (or grizzled) 

 yellowish grey, with the face rufous, a brown nasal mark, 

 and the pasterns wholly dark brown. 



The range extends south to the Bahr-el-Ghazal and Tana 

 A^alley.
