Traifvluphiu with respect to the cutaneous «;lan(ls, the

 between the false hoofs absent. 



The rliiimnuin also is like that of Trofft'Iaphmi, except that 

 the area between the nostrils and the edge of the lower lip 

 is usually at all events wider. It is as wide us the inter- 

 narial se[)tum in a speciuien of seloasi and wider in au 

 example of grutuf. 1 have never seen it narrower, as is 

 sometimes the case in Ti'uyelnphna. TAmiiotr.djus a|)|)eai-; 

 merely to differ from Trutjelaplins in the length of the liools 

 and the nakeJness of the posterior snrfaee of ihe pastern 

 and fetloek. lint, as .Meiiiertzhageii has pointed out (P. Z. :^. 

 191(3, i. p. 377), there is sometiuies a patch of hair in the 

 middle of the ])astern between the false hoofs and the hoois 

 themselves. Uut in two examples which came together 

 from tlie Congo to the ^oolo^ical Gardens the feet of tin; 

 male were naked behind, while those of the female had the 

 patch in ([uestiou. 



Genus Strkpsickiios, II. Smith. 



Strepsiceros strepsiceros, Pull. ([). 931). 



The fresh carcase of a hornless male, three or four months 

 old, from South Africa, is all the material of this species 1 

 have seen. 



The rhinarlam has a narrow gro;)\ed philtrum and the 

 hair upon the uppersidc of the nose siircuds forwards some 

 di>tance between the nor^trds. Otherwise the rliinarium 

 rtsembles that of TrarjelajJuis. 



There is no trace of preorOiful (jiand. 



hujuinal ylimds also are absent. Possibly their absence iu 

 this specimen was due to immaturity, since both Owen and 

 Ogilby agree as to theii- presence in tlie s])ecies. A\'licn 

 ])iesent they prol)ably resemble in size and position those of 

 S. imberbis, ot Triujelaphus, ami JJninotniyus. 



Pedul ylands of the interdigital type are absent^ but upon 

 the hind feet there are glands associated with tlie widely 

 SL'parated false hoofs as in Taurotrayus. On the inner side «)f 

 each false lioof there is a fringe of hnig black hair growing 

 fiom a glandular thickening of t!ie skin, the secretion of 

 whieh is discharged amongst the roots of the hairs and into a 

 hairless eleft between the thickening and the false hoof. 

 The skin of the middle of the area between the lalse hoofs 

 is clothed with short hair and is thin and not specially glaii-
