the nose-patch is narrower and not connected with the eye-stripes ; 

 no fringe or tuft on throat. This race appears to be intermediate 

 between the Abyssinian Oryx beisa yallarum and the Kilimanjaro 

 Fringed-eared Beisa, Oryx beisa callotis. It is very much greyer 

 in colour than the Abyssinian form, and may be distinguished at 

 once from callotis by the absence of the long dark ear-fringes.

 front 34 ; circumference 6| ; spread from tip to tip 9^.
