Head of Female and Skull of Male Neumann's Hartebeest. 



NEUMANN'S HARTEBEEST (Bubalis neumanni). 



Nearly allied to B. lelwel, but distinguished by the more widely 

 separated horns, which at first extend outwards, almost at right angles, 

 and then curve inwards. They are also shorter and more slender, with 

 the terminal rings nearer the tips. Mr. Walter Rothschild gives the 

 following particulars : 



Colour of hair fulvous fawn, much richer on the back, where there 

 are also some darker spots, which may be stains or natural ; below 

 very much paler. Chin blackish, tip of tail black. The male is 

 brighter and darker in colour than the female. There are also on the 

 back some patches with longer, thicker, almost whitish-buff hair, 

 perhaps remains of the winter fur.
