122 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



Imperfectly known; stated to be smaller than 0. g. 

 coronatus, with a rufous forehead, and white throat, under- 

 parts, and inner sides of limbs ; general colour brown, 

 darker on back ; legs black ; tail black above, white below ; 

 rings round eyes, spot at base of ear, and insides of ears 

 white. 



This species was described from two living specimens 

 in the Berlin Zoological Gardens, reputed to come from 

 Angola. It has been contrasted by Thomas with walkeri, 

 from which it differs by the rufous forehead and white 

 under-parts. 



No specimen in collection. 



SUBFAMILY vii. OREOTRAGIN^E. 



The single genus (and species) of small antelopes forming 

 this group was included by Sclater and Thomas in the 

 Neotragince, but is regarded as the type of a separate sub- 

 family by Pocock on account of differences in foot-structure.* 



Tail a mere broad stump. Muzzle with a large bare 

 muffle and small nostrils. Face-glands normal, approxi- 

 mated to eyes ; no foot-glands ; web of pasterns not folded 

 back on itself to form posterior wall of an interdigital cleft, 

 but area between hoofs covered (as in Neotragince) with long 

 hairs from the front of pastern to the back, so that there is 

 merely a small bare patch at summit of web ; hoofs trun- 

 cated at tips, with their basal portion raised high above the 

 ground in walking; inguinal glands not definitely known. 

 Teats two. Lateral hoofs present. Horns, in the form of 

 short spikes, generally absent in females ; skull, which is 

 very broad, with large lachrymal depressions, and small 

 lachrymal vacuities ; frontals not prolonged backwards 

 between parietals, and horns placed above hind rims of 

 orbits. Upper molars of medium width, without internal 

 accessory columns. The distributional area includes the 

 mountainous tracts of the greater part of Ethiopian Africa. 



* Riitimeyer, Abh. schweiz. pal. Ges. vol. iv, p. 52, 1872, had 

 previously used the term " Oreotragus Gruppe " for the Oreotragince + 

 Neotragince.
