According to this, the range of//, c. ti/picus is from Erythrea 

 and Kordofan in the uorth, along the eastern side of the 

 continent, southwards to Transvaal and Pondoland ; it also 

 occurs in Angola^ where it probably ix rather rare, and where 

 it meets 11. c. unyolensis, the prcdomiiumt form in that 

 I'cgion. 



1 b. Hi/jposiderns caffer centralis, subsp. u. 



Large-toothed, lai'ge-skulled, and broad-jawed. 



The sknll is larger and in every respect more heavily 

 built than in the typical form. The zygomatic width is 

 almost invariably slightly larger than^ or at least equal to, 

 the mastoid width, which gives the skull in upper view a 

 very characteristic asp;ct as compared with that of H. c. 

 typicus. The maxillary width is markedly larger: 6'8-7'l 

 mm., as against 6-6*2 in the typical form ; in conformance 

 with this the width across the canines and the anteorbital 

 Avidth are slightly larger. The teeth are cou>idcrably larger, 

 the mandible longer. 



Exteiiially, this form is on an averaye larger than H. c. 

 typicus, but the difference is practically far less well marked 

 than in the skulls and teeth (for details, see //. c. typicus). 



The colour of the fur, both in the dark and red i)hase, is 

 darker than in the ty|)ical form, but lighter than in //. c. 

 yuincciisis (see this latter, below).
