XLIV.—Note on a new Antelope. 
By the Hon. WALTER RoTHscHILp. 
Bubalis Neumanni, sp. n. 
Mr. A. H. Neumann, during his recent travels in some of 
the most interesting parts of Africa, on the east shore of and 
to the north-east of Lake Rudolph, met with a Hartebeest 
which I cannot refer to any of the already known forms, and 
which I wish to name after its discoverer, I have before me 
two skulls with horns, of a male and of a female, and parts of 
the skin of the body. 
The horns differ widely from those of Bubalis major 
(Blyth), of West Africa, and B. buselaphus (Pall.), of Northern 
Africa and Arabia, in being slenderer and in their tips being 
inverted, instead of pointing outwards or straight behind. 
The nearest ally seems to be B. tora (Gray) of Upper Nubia,
