Typical locality north-east of Lake Eudolf. 



Type in Tring Museum. 



In tliis species, which may be only a race of cokei, the 

 horns are intermediate to a certain extent between those of 

 the tora-cokei and those of the lelwel-caama group. Those 

 of the male are thicker and less divergent, with less distinct 

 ridges, than those of tora, while they do not present the 

 distinct V' sna P e characteristic of lelwel. Their tips are 

 directed inwards and backwards. General colour fulvous 

 fawn, richer on the back than on flanks, and much paler 

 on under-parts ; chin blackish, and tail-tuft black.

The following East African specimens belong to the type 

 regarded, together with the Nakuru hartebeest, by Oscar 

 Neumann (Sitzber. Ges. nat. Freunde, 1895, p. 95) as repre- 

 senting hybrids between B. cokei and B. lehvel jacksoni.

* Heller does not actually use this name, but states that the horns 

 of the type specimens of this hartebeest are " practically the shape of 

 those of tora, of which neumanni appears to be a race."
