B12 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
Skull and Horns of the Mountain Nyala. From the specimen presented by Mr. Ivor Buxton 
to the British Museum. 
The MOUNTAIN NYALA (Tragelaphus buxtoni). 
Allied in the form of the horns and the colouring of the male to 
the nyala, but nearly as large as the typical kudu, and the two sexes 
said to be similar in colour. The male has a dark-brown coat of 
moderate length, with the usual face-markings ; the under surface of the 
lower jaw, two gorgets on the throat and chest, a few spots on the 
flanks, and in some cases two stripes—one larger than the other— 
white. There is no fringe on the under-parts, but a crest of longish 
white and black hairs along the back. Legs with the front surface much 
like the back in colour, but elsewhere white. Horns with yellow tips ; 
varying somewhat in form, and intermediate in this respect between 
the nyala and the kudu. At first called the Spotted Kudu. 
Distribution—The Sahatu (Shabatu) Mountains of North-Western 
Gallaland, to the east-north-east of Lake Zuay (Zwei).
