stouter in proportion. Their rings are closer together than on the 
horns of C. edlépstprymnus and C. defassa, but in their thickness and 
depth come nearest to those of C. defassa. The skull is much narrower 
behind the horns than in C. defassa, as is also the nasal. 
Front legs (in skin), 19 inches; hind legs, 22; ears, 84 inches ; 
horns along the curve in three bulls, 19, 244, and 28 inches. 
These new Waterbucks were shot by Mr. Penrice near a place 
known as Bongo, on the banks of the Kuvali River, about one hundred 
miles south-east of Benguella and about fifty miles from Caconda. 
Mr. Penrice writes, in a letter to Mr. Rowland Ward: “These antelopes 
have no white mark over the rump, the only whitish colour being on 
the belly. They are pretty numerous at the locality named above, but 
they are not found nearer the coast. They have a strong smell, and I 
have often smelt them before sighting them. The cows have no horns, 
and as a rule bulls and cows are found in separate troops. The flesh 
is good to eat. The Boers call them ‘ Kringhart, the same name they 
give to the waterbuck in the Transvaal.” 
Type of male and female in my Museum at Tring. 
The species is named in honour of its discoverer.
