COXNOCH^TES TALKINUS ALBOJUBATUS. 



Connochpetes taurinus albojubatus, Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. aer. G, 

 vol. ix. p. 388, 1892. 



Size as in the t^qjieal race ; distinguished hy the throat fringe 

 being yellowish white in colour ; genei-al body colour about the 

 same, sometimes rather paler. 



Horn measurements (19. 7. 15. 121) : — outside width 2(S ; 

 inside width 23| ; length over curve 22| ; width of palm in 

 straight line 4f ; sj^read from tip to tip 14. 



Typical locality, Athi Plains, Kenya Colony ; range from Fort 

 Hall and south of Mt. Kenya across the Athi Plains southwards 

 to Kilimanjaro and Tanganyika Territory. A closely allied race, 

 Connochcstes taurlnus mear^isi, has been described by Heller* 

 from the Loita Plains, Kenya Colony. This form is said to be 

 rather smaller in size and darker on the legs ; it occupies the area 

 from the Loita Plains southwards into Tanganyika Territorj^ west 

 of the region inhabited by alhojuhatus. Coimochcetes iauriniis 

 hecJci, described by Neumannt, is probably only a colour variation 

 of albojubafifs.
