to the muzzle ; the middle of this streak has more white than its extremities, the white 
being slightly tinged with fawn. In the larger individual the median stripe is dark at 
its upper part only, the lower part having merely a few black hairs intermingled with 
the white. On either side, this darker middle streak is bounded by a nearly white but 
somewhat fawn-coloured streak, proceeding from above the eye to the muzzle. From 
the inner canthus of the eye a deep grey streak, bordering the last, passes to the angle 
of the mouth ; at its upper part, adjoining the small suborbital sinus, it is nearly black. 
The same black colour occurs in a corresponding spot above and behind the eye. Im- 
mediately adjoining the eye, and surrounding the under lid and outer canthus, is a patch 
of white ; and a large patch of white occurs also under the base of the ear, extending 
backwards, and being separated in front from that of the hinder part of the eye by the 
intervention of rather pale rufous proceeding from the cheeks to just behind the base of 
the horns. The hairs of the base and tips of the ears in front, of their edges, and of 
two longitudinal lines within them, are white. The outside of the ears is fulvous, with 
a mixture of blackish, which is considerably increased towards the tips, where the 
colour is nearly black. 
The whole of the lower parts of the sides and under surface, with the inner, the 
hinder, and the anterior surfaces of the limbs, are pure white. The white of the hinder 
part of the posterior limbs extends upwards for about four inches above the tail, in- 
cluding the tail and the whole rump, and is prolonged forwards on each haunch in a 
broad streak about five inches in length. The long hairs of the tip of the tail are alone 
fulvous, intermingled with black. The lips and lower jaw, extending to the upper part 
of the throat, are white. A remarkable white patch is seated about half way down in 
front of the neck ; its form is that of a crescent placed transversely. 
The hair on the body is of moderate length, adpressed, and frm. That of the face 
and legs is shorter, and equally adpressed. At the base of the horns in front it is much 
longer, tufted, and somewhat erect. The under part and sides of the tail are naked ; 
the hairs of its outer surface are erect and short, except close to the tip, where they gra- 
dually lengthen, forming a tuft projecting backwards, and nearly two inches in length.
