474 ABBOTT’S KILIMA-NJARO MAMMALS—TRUE. 
niger is to be regarded as identical. To this question I shall refer again 
presently. I have already described Abbott’s antelope in an earlier 
part of this journal,* but, for convenience of reference, will repeat the 
description in this place: 
(Adult male, No. 18965.)—Size large. Naked rhinarium broadly tr- 
angular, rugose, completely encircling the nostrils. The portion exter- 
nal to the nostrils is broadest at their inferior external angle. 
A narrow band bordering the lip is sparsely covered with hairs, which 
are not sufficiently numerous to conceal the rugose integument. 
Ears moderate, broad, obtuse; naked within, except on the margin 
and along two or three narrow lines. Hoofs of the fore and hind feet 
equal. Each moiety less than twice as long as broad at the base. 
False hoofs moderate, slightly less than one-third as long as the true 
hoofs. 
Tail short, well haired on both sides, except a small triangular area 
at the base, which is naked. 
Hair short, dense, appressed, and shining. 
Color throughout dusky chestnut-brown, without spots or bands, and 
not lighter on the belly. Face, chin, and throat pale grayish brown. 
Hairs of the frontal crest bright chestnut at the base and tipped with 
black. Mingled with them are some hairs which are dusky throughout 
and others pure white. Anterior surfaces of the legs somewhat lighter 
than the posterior surfaces. A few white hairs above the hoofs and 
also on the rump. ‘Tail dusky, except at the tip, where the hairs are 
nearly pure white throughout. 
Skull elongate. Muzzle slender. Premaxille directed backward, 
touching the nasals by their superior rather than their posterior mar- 
gin. Nasals very long, much produced anteriorly. Frontal region 
strongly convex. Suborbital pit nearly circular, as large as the orbit. 
Horns 44 inches (114.3 millimeters) long; slender, straight, not thick- 
ened at the base in front. They are directed backward and lie below 
the plane of the upper surface of the skull. : 
Lower incisors separated by a wide space in the median line. Crowns 
long, inclined outward. . Outer incisor more than half as broad as the 
middle incisor. —
