94 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



e. Bubalus urtmdicus, Matschie, Bcroff. Inst. Jagdkundc, vol. ii, 

 pp. 169 and 170, fig. 83, 1913. 



Typical locality south-east Urundi, German East Africa. 



Stated to differ from the preceding form (wintgensi) by 

 the relatively shorter skull, and by the horns being wider at 

 the base and more downwardly inclined, with the sharp tips 

 directed more suddenly inwards, and more bent backwards ; 

 they also diminish abruptly in calibre at about the middle 

 of their length, and at their origin from the forehead are 

 directed more backwards and less outwards. 



K. Bos eaffer aequinoetialis (p. 58). 



Allen, Bull. Mus. Zool. Harvard, vol. Iviii, p. 308, 

 considers that Matschie's B. c. azralcensis (vol. i, p. 57) is 

 inseparable from this race ; the long, backwardly-directed 

 horn-tips of the type of the former being apparently an 

 individual peculiarity of an immature animal. 



P. Bos eaffer braehyeeros (P. 62). 



No. 10. 5. 16. 1, vol. i, p. 61, apparently belongs to this 

 race. 



P 1 . Bos eaffer houyi. 



Bubalus eaffer houyi, Scluvarz, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 8, vol. xiii. 

 p. 494, 1914. 



Typical locality Pelle, near Gore, Logone Valley, 

 Camerun frontier. 



Type in Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt-am-Main. 



Nearly allied to B. c. Irachyceros, but smaller, with less 

 expanded horns, of which the tips are less nearly vertical ; 

 general colour ranging from reddish brown to black, with 

 throat and under-parts varying from brownish red to reddish 

 brown ; facial region of skull narrower than in brachyccros, 

 and frontals scarcely convex at base of horns. 



No specimen in collection.
