Bubalis tora (Gray). Toia Hartebeest. 

 (Native name, "Worobo.") 



This antelope was first mentioned by Heuglin in 1S63, thouyh he 

 confounded it with the bubal Bubalis buselaphus (I'all). It was first 

 recognised to be a distinct species by Gray in 1873. Messrs. Sclater 

 and Thomas, in The Book of Antelopes., give among the localities for this 

 species Upper Nubia and Kordofan. I believe this to be entirely 

 erroneous, the so-called " tetel " of those regions being Bubalis lelwel 

 (Heugl.), and Bubalis neumanni (Rothsch), while Bubalis tora is entirely 

 confined to Abyssinia and the valleys of the southern portion of the 

 IJkie Nile. 



Numerous at Shimerlcr Jowec, and towards .Mctcmmeh ; single bulls 

 and herds of four to fourteen ; a favourite position in the middle of the 

 day was under the shade of a few trees out in an open plain ; they were 

 extremely wary, and far harder to approach than roan antelope. 



A broken leg did not appear to hamper a tora mucli, as several 

 hours were spent in pursuit of one which had been thus crippled before 

 it was brought to bag.

 west of Gondar.

 Mr. Oldfield Thomas has suggested the x\m\\c ol abyssiuicusim this species,
