NEUMANN’S HARTEBEEST (Bubalis neumanni). . 
Nearly allied to B. /edwe/, but distinguished by the more widely 
separated horns, which at first extend outwards, almost at right angles, 
and then incline inwards. They are also shorter and stouter, with 
the terminal rings nearer the tips. The Hon. Walter Rothschild 
gives the following particulars :— 
Colour of hair fulvous fawn, much richer on the back, where there 
are also some darker spots, which may be stains or natural; below 
very much paler. Chin blackish; tip of tail black. The male is 
brighter and darker in colour than the female. There are also on the 
back some patches with longer, thicker, almost whitish-buff hair, 
perhaps remains of the winter fur. Height at shoulder from 48 to 
50 inches. 
Distribution—FEast Africa, in the neighbourhood of Lake Rudolf and 
thence southwards towards Lake Baringo, where it may grade 
into B. lelwel jacksont.
