 ened at base, directed backwards from base, more so than in 

 B. c. diehli, but less than in B. c. nanus. Tips much longer 

 than palm, slender, generally in or below level of frontal

 dilfcrent from B. c. nanus, whose characters and locality are 

 still doubtful. The horns of the jjresent race are much 

 smaller than those of the type of nanus, and show no trace of 

 their curious inward curvature.
