IN LIBERIA, 25 



on the inside of the upper part , on in- and afterside of 

 knee , on out- and inside of ancle and a ditto colored 

 band above the hoofs. Hindlegs chestnut , except the white 

 inside and a ditto colored band above the hoofs ; a ring 

 round the knee and lower outside are black. 



There are three (not two, cf. P. Z. S. L. 1850, p. 144) 

 white spots on each cheek , a ditto colored broad band on 

 the nose before the eyes , chin and front of upperlip also 

 white; a broad white band on the lower part of the throat. 



Upper margin of the ear strongly white hairy , lower mar- 

 gin black: a large white spot on the inside of the ear 

 near to the top. 



A few black hairs along the nape of the neck show per- 

 haps a rest of the more developed mane in younger spe- 

 cimens. The mane is erect with the tips of the hairs towards 

 the horns. A mane of rather long hairs along the spine 

 of the back, alternately white and chestnut colored. It 

 seems that in advanced age the mane on back and nape 

 of neck disappears , so there is in the Junk River-specimen 

 only a slight trace of the backmane. With the mane on 

 the neck the case is perhaps the same , for in our stuffed 

 specimen the mane is absent , but there is a kind of black 

 goat's beard. 



The skeleton presents 7 cervicales , 13 costales, 6 lum- 

 bares, 6 sacrales and 14 caudales.
