 tionately longer, with less prominent orbits ; horns small,

 ing, and more inclined backwards than in B. c. diehli, 

 although less so than in the type of B. c. nanus, and with 

 long, slender tips, lying in the main behind frontal plane, 

 and directed backwards and slightly inwards and downwards 

 at extremities ; general colour of female deep reddish brown, 

 richer and clearer on flanks and under-parts, with more or 

 less black on face and the throat orange-brown ; neck with 

 black mane ; shoulders and thighs with an admixture of 

 black, and legs wholly black ; tail paler than back, with
