Among the local races of the species, the Nubian giraffe, G. c. 

 typicus, is a pale-coloured animal with a large 'front horn and white 

 legs ; and from this the Kordofan G. c. antiqnaorum differs by the smaller 

 and more numerous spots on the upper part of the legs. The Bartngo 

 giraffe, G. c. rothschildi, is characterised by the black spots of the old 

 bulls and the jagged markings of the cows ; and the Lado G. c. cottoni 

 is allied. The Nigerian G. c. peralta is the palest of the group. The 



Head of Bull Baringo Giraffe obtained in the Uganda Protectorate by Sir H. Johnston, 

 and now in the British Museum. The development of the hindmost horns is very 

 marked. 



Congo G. c. congoensis combines the presence of a third horn with 

 fully spotted legs ; and this seems to be also the case with the 

 Kilimanjaro G. c. tippelskirchi, in which the markings have finely 

 serrated edges and the legs are more or less spotted. The races with 

 fully spotted legs and a more or less rudimentary front horn include 

 the Angolan G. c. angolensis, the North Transvaal G. c. wardi, and 

 the South African G. c. capensis.
