SING-SING. 



Typical locality Senegal. 



General colour sandy brown, with the bases of the 

 hairs whitish; flanks browner, and contrasting strongly 

 with white rump-patch ; backs of ears, including margins, 

 blackish, inner surfaces filled with long white hairs ; hairs 

 of neck long, thin, and somewhat paler than back ; front of 

 face rather darker brown than back; feet blackish, with 

 narrow white hoof-bands ; tail thin, brown above, like back, 

 with a black tip, length about 14 inches. Fine horns 

 measure from 27 to 31J inches in length, with a girth of 

 7i to 10J, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 12 to 23 inches. 



The distributional area is taken to include Senegal, 

 Gambia, Nigeria, the Shari Valley, Sierra Leone, and other 

 parts of West Africa. The Shari Valley sing-sing has, 

 however, been separated as tschadcnsis, and other named 

 forms in the list on pages 234-238 are also based on 

 modifications of the sing-sing.
