^v()ulcl be coextensive Avilli the great Congo Forest. This 

 genus may be ealletl 



IIylarnus*, gen. iiov. 



Intermetliatc between Neotragus and Nesotragus. Pre- 

 niaxillo-inaxilhiry vacuities j)rcsent, as in the latter. Nasals 

 very broadly exj)anded posteriorly. Muzzle in front of orbit 

 comparatively short, the anterior wall of the orbit vertically 

 above p^, as in JSeotragus, above m^ or in? in Nesotragiis. 

 Palation (back of bony palate) about level with the hinder 

 corner of ?/t', as in JSesotragus, opposite its front edge in 

 Neolvagus. 



Horns short, laid back nearly in the line of the frontal 

 profile, almost as in JSeotragus ; stout, conical, smooth except 

 just at their base. 



Type. JVeotrogus Batesi, de Wint. 



The Eastern species obtained by Col. Harrison seems to be 

 specifically separable from //. JJatesi, and 1 would propose 

 ior it the name of 



IIylarnus Hamsoni, sp. n. 



External characters very much as in //. Batesi, but the 

 colour-contrasts are more marked, the dark colours darker 

 and the light brighter. 



General colour nearer to " cinnamon''^ of Ridgway, that of 

 Batesi approaching " russet " ; central dorsal area darkened 

 by the black tips to the hairs. Forehead and crown dark 

 brown, a fine lightish line over each eye. Hairs of outer 

 surface of ears black, of inner white. Chin and interramia 

 nearly pure white. Throat-band brownish cinnamon. Belly 

 sharply defined white. Front of limbs dark brown, inter- 

 rupted over the metapodials and basal phalanges by an ill- 

 delined elongated whitish patch, which is succeeded again by 

 brown on the penultimate phalanges. Tail imperfect in the 

 type, its basal portion coloured like the body. 



iSkull with the nasals even broader posteriorly than in 

 77. Batesi, running out on each side to a well-marked angle. 

 Preniaxillo-maxillary vacuity larger in the single specimen. 

 Horns longer and set at a slightly greater angle upwards. 



Dimensions of the typical skull : — 



(jrreatest length 110 mm.; basal length 96'5; greatest 

 breadth 52 ; muzzle to orbit 51 ; nasals o7x23j breadth of 

 brain-case '66 ; muzzle to front of ^^ 36 ; palate length ^d ; 

 length of upper tooth-series o2. 



* apvos, a lamb.
