 ties mixed together in the same herd in tropical parts of Africa. 

 The males are generally dark and the females pale, but this is 

 not always the case. He has sent to Stockholm the skin of a 

 female from Caffreland, which is as pale as the specimens from 

 Sennaar." Sundevall in a Letter, 1850.
