OSTEOLOGY. 



Horns. From Mr. Warwick's Collection. 



The horns are very similar to those of T. Angasii, but the 

 head is considerably larger, nearly as large as that of the Kudu, 

 and the horns are thicker and larger ; they are 27 inches long in 

 a straight line from base to tip, and 9 inches in circumference at 

 the base. The hair of the head is also paler and more uniformly 

 coloured, and with very large white spots on the cheek, much 

 larger than those of the Kudu or of T. Angasii. The throat has 

 a distinct mane of blackish rigid hairs. The muffle is very like 

 that of T. Angasii, and larger than that of the Kudu. The skull 

 is imperfect; it has no appearance of any suborbital pit or slit. 



Var. 1. Skull about two-thirds the size of the former.

2. TRAGELAPHUS ANGASII. The INYALA. 



Black. Back with a vertebral streak and four or five bands on 

 each side. Head blackish. Narrow band before eyes and small 

 spot on cheeks, front of upper lip and chin, white. Forehead 

 and feet bay. Throat with a mane of long, rigid, blackish hair. 

 Horns rather slender, elongate, rather bent forward at the tip. 

 Female bay. with many white bands. Muffle band small, only 

 extending half-way up between the nostrils and about one-third 

 the length beneath them, and entirely separated from the edge 

 of the upper lip by a broad, hairy band (with a slight central 

 groove). The horns are 8 inches in diameter at base, rather 

 slender, elongate, black with white tips, rounded in front, with 

 a very obscure indication of a keel, and with a keel arising from 

 the back edge of the horns, on the inner side of the upper part, 

 rather bent forwards in front.
