Distinguished from the Bushbucks and Nyala by the great 

 elongation of the hoofs. Size almost equal to that of the Nyala. 

 Horns from 30 to 35 J inches in length. Ears smaller than in 

 Tragelaphus angasi. Coat long and rather coarse. General 

 colour dirty yellow-ochre, without the white body stripes of the 

 Nyala f. Face markings somewhat similar, a large incomplete 

 white suborbital chevron and an indistinct white spot below eyes. 

 This species is easily distinguished from the other members of the 

 genus Limnotragus by the fact that the two sexes are alike in 

 general colour, whereas in speJcei from the Victoria Nyanza and 

 spelcei gratus from the Gabun the sexes are of different colours.
