Fur on the sides of the body rather elongate and soft ; of the head 

 and neck shorter and more ridged ; pale bay. The crown of the head 

 and long hairs between the horns ; large oblong black spot over the eyes 

 bright bay. Front part of the body and front part of the fore legs dark 

 brown, varied with blackish hairs, which are more abundant, and form 

 the indistinct streak down the back of the neck and front part of the 

 back, but in the latter part they are more or less spread over the 

 shoulders so as not to form any regular dorsal band. The black hairs 

 are abundant on the front part of the fore legs ; fore legs from the knees 

 to the hoofs and the hind feet blackish. Under side of the head rather 

 paler ; chest blackish ; hinder part of the belly and inner side of the 

 thighs white. Tail dark brown, white on the under side ; hoofs 

 elongate. 



Differs from C. dorsalis in the softness of the fur, the under side of 

 the head being bay and not whitish ; in the hind legs being brown and 

 the hocks and feet to the upper hinder hoofs only being black ; in many 

 respects it is like C. nigrifrons, but the fur is softer and longer, and 

 much paler.
