   Jugal 
  broad, 
  square 
  in

  The 
  skull 
  of

  is 
  easily 
  distinguished

  its 
  

   flat 
  forehead 
  and 
  its 
  large 
  and 
  expanded 
  horns.

  Allied 
  to 
  D. 
  k. 
  korrigum 
  of 
  Lake 
  Chad 
  and 
  the 
  Lower 
  

   Shari, 
  but 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  horns 
  being 
  much 
  thinner 
  

   and 
  their 
  tips 
  being 
  strongly 
  curved 
  upwards 
  and 
  inwards. 
  

  

  Skull 
  very 
  much 
  as 
  in 
  D. 
  k. 
  korrigum, 
  but 
  more 
  slender 
  

   and 
  distinctly 
  narrower 
  across 
  orbital 
  region. 
  

  

  Horns 
  much 
  thinner 
  than 
  in 
  korrigum 
  and 
  tiang. 
  "When 
  

   viewed 
  in 
  profile 
  they 
  are 
  seen 
  to 
  be 
  much 
  more 
  strongly 
  

   recurved, 
  the 
  tips 
  being 
  directed 
  upwards 
  from 
  the 
  tiiird 
  

   knot 
  (counted 
  from 
  the 
  tip). 
  Inward 
  curvature 
  of 
  tips 
  

   much 
  stronger 
  than 
  in 
  D. 
  k. 
  korrigum.

  Basal 
  length

   length 
  229 
  ; 
  zygomatic 
  width

  ;

  of

  ; 
  length 
  of 
  upper 
  tooth-row 
  (alv.) 
  92'4 
  ; 
  

   horns, 
  length 
  (along 
  curvature) 
  568, 
  greatest 
  width 
  300, 
  

   distance 
  of 
  tips 
  197, 
  diameter 
  of 
  horn 
  at 
  base 
  66*5. 
  

  

  This 
  exceedingly 
  well-marked 
  race 
  is 
  at 
  once 
  distinguished 
  

   from 
  D. 
  k. 
  tiang, 
  which 
  has 
  a 
  similar 
  narrow 
  skull, 
  by 
  the 
  

   strong 
  curvature 
  of 
  the 
  horn-tips. 
  It 
  is 
  much 
  to 
  be 
  regretted 
  

   that 
  no 
  skins 
  are 
  available 
  for 
  comparison.
