496 Mr. E. Schwarz on new 



Allied to K. d. annectens, but distinguished by its sliorter 

 coat, more brownish colour, blackened face, and more slender 

 horns. 



Back, withers, and shoulders distinctly speckled brownish 

 (dead-leaf nos. 1-2, R6p.) and black, gradually passing into 

 the colour of the neck, which is similar, but less speckled 

 with black. Crown and forehead rich rusty brown (fawn 

 nos. 2-3), rather sharply set off from tlie black central portion 

 of face. Cheeks also strongly speckled with black. The 

 whitish band round the muzzle strongly suflfused with rusty 

 and margined on either side by a distinct greyish spot. 

 White throat-band very conspicuous. White supraorbital 

 stripe very distinct and accompanied above by a narrow 

 black streak. Back of ears pale reddish brown, with the 

 apical fourth black. Buttocks yellowish white, not sliarply 

 contrasted with the reddish-brown band which margins the 

 dark colour of the rump, but is not continued to the thighs 

 as in K. d. annectens. Upperside of tail blackish. Hind 

 legs from hocks and fore legs from below shoulders deep 

 black (dark neutral tint no. 4). An indistinct blackish-brown 

 stripe runs from the hocks to the inguinal region. Light 

 bands round false hoofs yellowish white, those round hoofs 

 rusty. Underside of body dark sooty, except the inguinal 

 reo-ion, which is white like the inner side of the thighs. 



Shdl. Distinctly smaller than in the two Shari races ; 

 horns thinner and with the rings much closer together. 



Dimensions of type skull. Basal length 328 mm. ; upper 

 length 360 ; palatal length 195 ; palatal width inside mo 52 ; 

 postorbiul width 151 ; zygomatic width 142 ; mastoid 

 width 129 ; nasals^ length 153, greatest breadth 37 ; breadth 

 of rostrum across premaxillfe 45 ; length of upper tooth-row 

 (alv.) 101 ; horns, length along curve 710, greatest diameter 

 at base 62. 



The pale K. d. tschadensi.'^, with its long fur and indistinct 

 markings, and the dark A', d. schubotzi, with its bright 

 markincrs and short coat, seem at first to represent different 

 species rather than local forms of tiie same species ; but both 

 are connected by K. d. annectens, which combines the long 

 fur of K. d. tschadensis with the dark colour of the present 

 form.
