The gi-ound-colour varies from w hite to fawn ; the dark 

 polygonal markings vary from orange-red to red-chocolate, the 

 edges being even and sharply defined ; the spaces between the 

 dark patches are generally narrower and always far more clearly 

 defined in aged animals than in those of a similar age in the 

 Southern species. The legs below the knees and hocks are white. 

 The males have a third horn in the centre of the forehead just 

 above the eyes, cylindrical, from 3 to 5 inches long ; in the 

 young animal this position is occupied by a prominent tuft of 

 black hairs.
