234 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



five well-defined races, which may be briefly defined as 

 follows : 



A. Ears relatively long and pointed ; a large white 



area (in addition to eye -streak) round eye. 



a. Size smaller; general colour rufous brown... K. d. def asset. 



b. Size larger; general colour bright rufous, 



especially on forehead K. d. ugandce. 



B. Ears shorter and rounded ; no large white area 



round eye. 



a. General colour rufous K. d. unctuosus. 



b. General colour smoky. 



a'. Back lighter K. d. crawshayi. 



b' '. Back darker K. d. penricei. 



In addition to the above, and apart from certain so-called 

 races which do not seem to be separable from C. d. penricei, 

 the following names many of which are probably based on 

 individual herds rather than on races have been applied to 

 local forms of the defassa :
