Skull and Horns of Sudani Buffalo. 
2.—NORTHERN RACES (B. caffer xquinoctialis, etc.). 
The Sudani race is a smaller animal than the Cape buffalo (height 
at shoulder about 4 feet), with the general colour blackish or tawny 
brown, tinged locally with rufous, and tending to greyish on the legs. 
Horns smaller, much more flattened at the bases, where they are more 
widely separated, and in some, although not all, cases retreating less 
markedly behind the plane of the eyes. The Sudani race was originally 
described on the evidence of a skull from East Central Africa, but also 
occurs on the White Nile. The name BS. c¢. asracenszs has been applied 
to the buffalo of the Bahr-el-Azrek, a tributary of the Blue Nile, on 
the southern frontier of Abyssinia. Its horns are described as being 
more like those of the Cape race.
