194 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



Gambia, characterised by its rufous colour and the small amount of 

 white in the region of the eye. Second, Crawshay's defassa (C. defassa 

 crawsliayi), from British Central Africa, with a dusky coloration. 

 Third, the Angola defassa (C. defassa penricei\ from the interior of 

 Benguela, Angola, in which the colour is so dark as to be almost black. 

 And, fourth, the Abyssinian defassa (C. defassa typicus), extending from 

 Western Abyssinia through Sennar, Kordofan, and the valley of the 

 White Nile to Uganda and British and German East Africa, in which 

 the ears are longer and more pointed, and there is more white in the 

 region of the eye than in the other races ; the general colour being 

 rufous. These four races are frequently regarded as distinct species, 

 but they are so evidently local modifications of a single variable form 

 that it is preferable to include them under a single specific heading.
