NO. 7 ANTELOPES FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA HELLER II 



Measurements. — Head and body, 1,260 mm.; tail, 185; hindfoot, 

 390; ear from notch, 155. Skull: condylo-basal length, 223; zygo- 

 matic breadth, 88; muzzle to orbit, 130; upper tooth row, 58; width 

 of palate across M 1 , 54 ; PM 1 to muzzle, 78 ; nasals, 95 x 20. Old 

 female skulls of R. wardi are much larger and heavier, their average 

 length being 240 mm., almost an inch longer than R. tohi. 



Remarks. — Five specimens are in the collection from the type 

 locality ; two of them old females, one adult female, one immature 

 male and one nursing young. The male is too young to show adult 

 horn characters, but all the specimens agree in differing from R. wardi 

 by their purer tawny color and smaller size. Redunea redunca tohi 

 is a smaller lighter colored race which is confined to the immediate 

 vicinity of the coast where it inhabits the grassy parklike country 

 between the coco-palm zone and the desert nyikae. On the slopes of 

 Kilimanjaro this race reaches its farthest inland range. It however 

 does not connect with R. wardi from which it is separated by a 150- 

 mile stretch of desert. 



This buck is known to the Swahili as tohi. 



ADENOTA KOB ALURiE, new subspecies 



Type from Rhino Camp, Lado Enclave; adult male, Cat. No. 

 164788, U. S. National Museum ; shot by Theodore Roosevelt, Janu- 

 ary 14, 1910; original number, 590. 



Character. — Like Adenota kob thomasi in color but decidedly 

 smaller ; hair shorter, not exceeding 20 mm. in length on neck ; skull 

 smaller and flatter in both sexes ; size of hoofs smaller ; approaching 

 Adenota kob in its small size and standing quite intermediate be- 

 tween it and Adenota thomasi, but differing in having the head more 

 extensively white, the entire orbital region being white and the ears 

 also showing a tendency to whiteness, in some being uniform buffy 

 on the back without the blackish tip. The old males, however, never 

 assume the black coat characteristic of this sex in Adenota leucotis, 

 or do they show as a rule the white ears. 



Coloration. — Color of head and body zanthine orange, lightening 

 on lower sides and midline of throat to ochraceous-buff" ; back of ears 

 lighter than rest of head, ochraceous-buff, the tips very little darker, 

 ochraceous-tawny ; orbital region, base and sides of ears, lips and 

 borders of nostrils, chin and upper throat, chest and underparts, 

 inside of legs, to knee and hock, underside of tail and band above 

 hoofs and false hoofs, white ; front of forelegs from light hoof bands 

 to shoulders, front of hind legs from hoof band to hock and tip of
