group, there are no naked patches on the head below the ears, the tail 
is comparatively long, with a slight terminal tuft, and the lateral hoofs 
are large. A characteristic feature of the skull is the presence of a 
deep hollow in the forehead. From its allies the true or common 
waterbuck is recognisable at a glance by the elliptical white ring on the 
buttocks, which extends downwards to the thighs. Height at shoulder 
from 48 to 53 inches. Weight about 360 lbs. clean. 
Distribution.—Africa north of the Limpopo along the eastern coast 
region as far as the Shebeyli River in Somaliland ; thus including 
Nyasaland and British and German East Africa. Neves apparently, 
very abundant, this handsome antelope has had its range much 
curtailed of late years. Its present strongholds are the districts 
between the Sabi and Zambesi, the affluents of the latter, and the 
Chobi, Okavango, and other rivers above Lake Ngami. White 
waterbuck, with eyes of normal colour, are common on the Guasu 
Nyero, near the Lorian swamp, British East Africa.
