be certain as to whether the absence of the black stripe is clue to 

 old ap^e (as said by Smith), youth (as said by Wagner), season, or

24. BUBALIS LICHTENSTEINI, Pet. 



a. Ad. sk. & skull. Zomba. 



This specimen, equally with t.hat mentioned in the previous 

 paper (p. 553), has the whitish rump referred to by Dr. Matschie 

 as characteristic of his B. leucopriimnus *. Since both individuals 

 were obtained, however, at quite a short distance from the typical 

 localities (Tette and Sena on the Zambesi) of Peters's species, there 

 can be no doubt that they represent the true licJifensteini. What- 

 ever therefore may be the differences in the horns between " lich- 

 tensteini " and " leucoprymnus" it is clear that the whiteness of the 

 rump in the northern form cannot be used as a distinguishing 

 character.

These specimens belong clearly to the Lower Zambesi form, 

 their white markings, although very variable, being far less developed 

 than in the Chobe Eiver Bush-buck, assigned in 1891 to the 

 true T. scrijytus tyjiicus. Pall."
