be from a hybrid between the present species and Damaliscus 

 lunatus. Tati Valley, Matabililand. The donor states 

 (Field, vol. cxxii, p. 363, 1913) that the antelope to which 

 this specimen pertained was shot in 1890 by Cornelius 

 van Eooyen. While in general body-colour this antelope 

 resembled a tsessebe, it had the comparatively bushy tail of 

 a Cape hartebeest ; the length of its head was intermediate 

 between that of these two species, and its horns were unlike 

 those of any other antelope.
