Typical locality Abyssinia. As already mentioned, 

 Pocock (loc. cit.) is disposed to regard abyssinicus as not 

 more than subspecifically from coronatus, leaving open the 

 question whether the former and therefore also the latter 

 should be classed as a race of grimmi. 



Closely allied to the last ; the height being 18 inches at 

 the shoulder, the length of the ear 5J, and that of the 

 hind-foot 8f inches. General colour speckled (or grizzled) 

 yellowish grey, with the face rufous, a brown nasal mark, 

 and the pasterns wholly dark brown. 



The range extends south to the Bahr-el-Ghazal and Tana 

 Valley.
