TOPI (Damaliscus corrigum jimela). 

 Korke of the Gal las. 



The southern representation of the last, distinguished by its still 

 smaller size (height at shoulder, 43-44 inches), shorter and more 

 slender horns, and the somewhat brindled appearance of the coat, due 

 to patches of longer hairs on the otherwise short fur. General colour 

 a peculiar purple-brown, with the dark markings less defined and less 

 black than in D. corrigum typicus. Weight about 250 Ibs. 



Distribution. British East Africa from the Juba to the Sabuki River, 

 and thence to Uganda and Uniamwezi.
