GENUS PEDIOTUAGUS. 43 



of horns. The horseshoe-shaped brown marking on the 

 crown of the head broadly developed, from above the eyes 

 and dying away along the nape of the neck ; brown on 

 the nose as a rule in the form of an elongated triangle. 

 Upperparts of a chocolate-milk brown, darker on the head, 

 lighter colored along the sides of the body and the legs ; 

 lower lips and chin, half-moon above eyes, ending in a 

 broad spot anteriorly, underparts of body, buttocks, ante- 

 rior of hindlegs down to the hoofs and internal surface of 

 fore legs to the genuflexion white. Posterior surface of ears 

 grizzled; the ears are like in the other species margined 

 with brown, not so towards the top-end. The small size 

 of the hoofs make it uncertain to decide whether this spe- 

 cies has the fore hoofs short or long. 



The four or — if Neumanni is a good species — five 

 presently known species of the genus Fediotragus have the 

 geographical distribution in South Africa as follows: West- 

 wards P. Kelleni, Southwards P. tragulus and Horstockii, 

 Eastwards P. rufescens and Neumanni.
