marked incurving at tips. Skull relatively slight and shallow 

 vertically; length 10 T 7 g inches (255 mm.); length of upper 

 series of cheek-teeth 2 J inches (63 mm.). Fine horns measure 

 from 13 to 15 inches, with a girth of from 4f to 6 inches, 

 and a tip-to-tip interval ranging from 7J to 18 J inches. 



Of the three under-mentioned heads obtained by Capt. 

 Gunthorpe in the Binder Valley a tributary of the Blue 

 Nile one agrees with a typical cottoni, a second is clearly a 

 donaldsoni, and the third of an intermediate type. These 

 specimens, in conjunction with a fourth given to the writer 



FIG. 26. HEAD OP SUDANI BOHOE REEDBUCK (Redunca redunca cottoni}, 



from Mongalla. 

 Length of horns 16 inches, girth 5 inches, tip-to-tip interval 23 inches. 



by Colonel Gunthorpe, show that these two supposed races 

 are inseparable. In the writer's specimen the interval 

 between the horn-tips is only 6 J inches, whereas in specimens 

 from the Binder and Blue Nile valleys catalogued in the 

 sixth edition of Ward's Records of Big Game, this interval 

 ranges from 15 to 18 inches. 



The range extends from Kordofan, the White Nile, 

 and the Isle of Meroe to the east of Lado and western 

 Somaliland.
