Bubalis jacksoni, Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. ix. p. 386, 



1892 ; Proc. Zool. Soc. 1904, vol. i. p. 455. 

 Bubalis lelwel jacksoni, Lydekker, Game Animals of Africa, p. 107, 1908. 



Size rather larger than in cokei, height at shoulder about 52 

 inches. Distinguished by the greater elongation of the head and 

 extreme development of the horn-pedicle. The Jackson Harte- 

 beest is distinguished from the typical lelwel by the absence of 

 dark markings on the legs and face. General body colour 

 yellowish rufous. Good horns from 24 to 26 inches in length on 

 front curve. 



Of the five males in the Collection No. 19. 7. 15. 77 has the 

 best horns : length on front curve 24 ; circumference 11 f ; spread 

 from tip to tip lOf . 



Type locality, Kavirondo ; range appears to extend eastwards 

 into Kenya Colony as far as the Ravine Station. Heller * has 

 recently described the Kenya Lelwel Hartebeest as distinct from 

 jacksoni, under the name kenice, on account of its wider spread 

 horns, shorter horn-pedicle, and rather paler colour.
