  This 
  oribi 
  is 
  at 
  once 
  distinguished 
  by 
  its 
  short 
  coat, 
  bright 
  

   colour, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  a 
  distinct 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  vertex. 
  

   With 
  the 
  much 
  smaller 
  0. 
  ourebi 
  nigricaudata 
  from 
  Gambia 
  

   it 
  needs 
  no 
  special 
  comparison, 
  as 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  more 
  greyish 
  

   and 
  has 
  a 
  black 
  tail-tip.
