GREAT GAME OF THE WORLD. 



NANOTRAGUS NIGRICAUDATUS.

Grizzly fawn ; forehead rufous ; tail black, of moderate length ; 

 temporal gland distinct, black ; knee-brushes large ; false hoofs 

 present but small ; ears moderate ; horns slender, moderate in length, 

 and slightly bent forward. 



Height at shoulder, 20 in. ; length of ears, 4^ in. ; length of horns, 

 3 in. A narrow mark about one inch in length on each side of the 

 naked muzzle ; aline passing round the eye and suborbital pit, but not 

 meeting in front of the gland, lower lip, chin, spot on throat, belly, 

 inside of limbs nearly as far down as the carpal and tarsal joints, and 

 rump white. Nose and ears externally dusky brown ; forehead and 

 occiput rufous ; temporal gland large, round, and covered with very 

 short bluish-black hair, that covering the region between the subor- 

 bital pit and the eye being of similar character and colour ; neck, 

 back, flanks, and sides of a peculiar grizzly fawn colour. This pecu- 

 liarity is obtained by the base of each hair being almost white, the 

 tip rufous, the intervening part of a deep bluish grey.
