SUNT 181 
Head of Suni. 
The SUNI (Neotragus moschatus). 
The elegant little antelopes included in the genus Weotragus are 
near relatives of the oribis, from which they are distinguished by 
the absence of a naked glandular patch below the ear and the want 
of lateral hoofs. They are further characterised by the horns being 
directed backwards nearly or quite in the plane of the face, as also 
by the large size of the open spaces in the skull in front of the sockets 
of the eyes, and the breadth of the nasal bones. In the present species 
the horns, although short, project behind the back of the head, are 
somewhat elevated above the plane of the forehead, and strongly and 
closely ridged, while the colour of the upper parts, inclusive of the tail- 
tip, is greyish brown. Height at shoulder, 13 to 14 inches. 
Distribution—Zanzibar, two adjacent islets, and mainland coast 
from Kilimanjaro to Mozambique.
