Skull and Horns of Abyssinian Buffalo. 



B. ABYSSINIAN BUFFALO (Bos caffer sequinoctialis). 



A smaller animal than the last (height at shoulder about 4 feet), 

 with the general colour blackish or tawny brown, tinged locally with 

 rufous, and tending to greyish on the legs. Horns smaller, much more 

 flattened at the bases, where they are more widely separated, and in 

 some, although not all, cases retreating less markedly behind the 

 plane of the eyes. In East Africa occurs another race (B. caffer 

 raddiffei), in which the horns are much flatter and less rugged than in 

 the southern race, a circumstance which tends to confirm the view that 

 the present animal should be regarded as a variety rather than as a 

 species. 

 Distribution. From Abyssinia and southern Somaliland through the 



Egyptian Sudan for a considerable distance up the White Nile ; 



but the southern limits, if definable, not yet determined.
