If this species be the true Antilope Jcoba of Erxleben, its proper 

 title would be Damaliscus koba, unless the name A. Jcoba be regarded 

 as too like A. hob to be admissable. 



KORRIGUM, or TIANG. 



Typical locality Bornu. 



Size large; shoulder-height from about 4 feet to 4 feet 

 2 inches. General colour some shade of rich rufous, usually

 above the knees and hocks, a black tail-crest, no dark dorsal 

 stripe, and the lower part of the limbs coloured more or less 

 nearly like the body. Tail barely reaching hocks, with crest 

 occupying terminal third. Horns thick, heavily ridged, and
