THE LELWEL HARTEBEEST 

 (Page 107) 



The statement that the typical race of this species, which was 

 described by Heuglin on the evidence of a horn probably bought from 

 Sudani traders, has a dark face-blaze is incorrect. A male and female 

 believed to be from the Lado district were uniformly reddish tawny, 

 with the tips of the horns inclining inwards. 



THE KORRIGUM, TIANG, OR TOPI 

 (Page 1 1 6) 



A topi from the Guasengishu plateau of British East Africa, lying 

 to the eastward of Mount Elgon, is distinguished from Damaliscus 

 corrigum jimela by the blaze on the face being whitish buff, or white 

 instead of black. Although described by Prof. A. Cabrera on page 

 998 of the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1910 as a species, 

 it may be regarded as a local race under the name of D. c. phallus. 

 In old bulls the blaze is stated to be as white as in a blesbok. 



THE BRINDLED GNU OR BLUE WILDEBEEST 



(Page 134) 



The typical form of the white-bearded race from Kilimanjaro is 

 tawny-coloured, with the fore-quarters marked by transverse chocolate- 

 coloured bands, and the greater portion of the front of the face as well 

 as the sides of the lower part, together with the ears, nearly black. On 

 the other hand, a dark phase is exemplified by a skin from the south 

 of Lake Naivasha, British East Africa, presented to the British Museum 

 by Mr. H. H. Tarn in 1907, by others from the Guaso Nyero valley 

 given by Mr. R. J. Cuninghame in 1908, and by others from East 

 Africa presented by the Master of Belhaven ; in these the general 

 colour of the coat of the neck, fore-quarters, and flanks is more or less 

 uniformly blackish brown, passing into dark tawny on a larger or 

 smaller area on the upper surface of the hind-quarters, this light area, 

 which is traversed anteriorly by a dark stripe, extending in one
