Typical locality Eastern Sudan. 



Closely allied to typical race, but apparently paler in 

 colour, with a smaller amount of buff on face, a broader dark 

 flank-band, and longer horns, more incurved at tips. 



General colour pale yellowish brown; longer hairs on 

 forehead, crown, nose, back of neck, and a patch on cheeks 

 rufous ; area round eye and an ill-defined streak extending 

 thence towards nose whitish; upper lip isabelle-fawn on 

 sides, whitish in front; lower lip, chin, and throat also 

 whitish ; backs of ears pale fawn, becoming whitish at base 

 laterally, inner sides, margins, and tips with long white 

 hairs. Horns in profile recalling those of G. tliomsoni (infra), 

 in front view more or less lyrate, with the tips inclined 

 strongly inwards and slightly forwards. 



The range includes Kordofan, El Obeid, and other parts 

 of the Eastern Sudan, extending to the Blue Kile and 

 Binder Valleys. 



Sclater and Thomas tentatively identified the eastern 

 form of Sundevall's G. Icevipes with G. rufina, but it has 

 been definitely proved by Lonnberg to be the same as the 

 so-called G. salmi.
