On the A])i(loo in the British Mi(.<eum. 45 



Skull. Much as in B. c. planiceros, but somewhat smaller. 

 Orbits moderately projecting ; rostrum slender ; occiput 

 broad and low. 



Horns. Distinguished from those of B. c planiceros and 

 B. c. beddlngtoni by the jmlm being directed more backwards 

 than in either of them. Palm not depending, almost erected ; 

 tips long, stout, strongly bent inwards, more so than in 

 planiceros and beddingtoni, and backwards at the extreme 

 end, scarcely erected at all. Greatest width of horns very 

 small comparatively. 



This well-marked buffalo has nothing to do with B. c. 

 brachyceros of Lake Chad, w^tli which it has been identified 

 by Mr. Lydekker in the ' Catalogue of Ungulates.' Specimen 

 4. 7. 9. 13 of the British Museum belongs to this race. As 

 a matter of fact, under the head of B. c. brachyceros a 

 number of various races have been mixed u[). On the other 

 hand, specimens referable to B. c. brachyceros are treated, as 

 different species.
