tooth of the lower jaw, and likewise by the more decidedly trunk-like

damarensis differs by its superior size, and M7. guenthert by the still 
greater development of the trunk. They belong to the sub- genus 
Rhynchotragus. Weight about 7 lbs. 
Distribution.—East Africa, from Southern Somaliland to Ugogo, 
most numerous on the coast.
