Ourebia ourebi splendida, subsp. n. 



Type locality. Between Djogto and Lai, east of the Logone 

 River. 



Type. Old J . Senckenbcrg Museum, Frankfurt-a.-]\I. 

 Journal no. 969 (skin). Original no. H. 273. Collected 

 in May 1911. (No skull.) 



Distinguished at once from 0. ourebi dui'cas by its short 

 coat, brighter colour, and more definite markings. 



Colour of upperside bright orange-fawn (iiuff no. 4, Rep.), 

 distinctly paler on sides and neck (no. 1); thighs much the 

 same colour, sharply set off from that of the back. Hind 

 legs above hocks slightly darker than thighs, below hocks 

 buffy, the sides being much the same colour as the anterior 

 and posterior surfaces. Fore legs like thighs ; legs above hoof 

 very pale buffy. Forehead and middle portion of face like 

 back, cheeks buff. Above the eyes the usual white streak, 

 which is more sharply defined than in O. o. dorcas. No dark 

 patch on vertex, only some hairs with dark tips. Back of ears 

 pale yellowish fawn, with an indistinct dark patch; inside o£ 

 ears white. Underside of body pure white, very distinctly 

 set off from the colour of the rump. Tail above darker and 

 richer-coloured than back ; below white at base and entirely 

 without black hairs. 



Skull. Essentially as in 0. o. dorcas; in the single skull 

 cxaniincd the bulla3 arc somewhat shorter and broader. 



Dimensions of skull {paruhjpc). Greatest length 160 mm.; 

 basal length 148 ; palatal length 92; zygomatic width 697; 

 postorbital width 762; occipital width 46'4 ; muzzle to 

 orbit 89*5 ; length of nasals 58*5 ; length of interfrontal 

 suture 50; length of upper tooth-row (alv.) 40*8. 



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

 colour, and bv the absence of a distinct jjatch on the vertex. 

 With the much smaller 0. ourebi niyricaudata from Gambia 

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

 and lias a l)lack tail-tip.
