JACKSON S HARTEBEESTE 67 
JACKSON’S HARTEBEESTE (Bubalis jacksoni). 
This is one of the new species of Hartebeeste, first shot in 1890 by 
Mr. F. J. Jackson in British East African Territory. It had been ob- 
tained by other travellers before but not identified. Mr. Jackson says: 
“Up north all along the top of the Elgeyo escarpment (continuation 
of Mau) into Turkwell, to the north and north-east of Mount Elgon, it 
is common, and takes the place of B. coke. Round Baringo it is 
fairly numerous, but some marches south of Njems the LB. cofez takes 
its place.” 
It is generally distributed throughout the Masai and Suk countries, 
north of Lake Naivasha, westwards Kavirondo, Uganda, and the 
vicinity of the Nile. Much larger than Budalis coker, and generally of 
lighter colour, partaking of the same nature and habits (E. Gedge). 
Distribution—Central Africa: country between Lake Victoria 
Nyanza and Lake Naivasha.
