There are nine stripes on each side, the anterior one 

 rather faint. This skin was obtained from natives, and lacks 

 the head, legs, underparts, and tail. The number of stripes 

 shows that it must be related to >S^. s, frommi, Matsch. 



50. Taurotragus oryx billingcej subsp. n. 

 ? . R. 190. Uleti, Iringa (type). 



Tlie female and young elands of the Iringa District are 

 so remarkable in their coloration, and differ so much from 

 other forms, as to deserve a subspecific name. It appears to 

 be a highland form. Mrs. Billinge of Rumruli, Iringa, in 

 whose honour the subspecies is named, in March 1922 

 presented the skull and skin of an adult female, which she 

 had shot, to the Game Department of the Tanganyika 

 Territory. The Department has sent the skin to the British 

 ]\Iuseum for identification, and has kindly permitted it to 

 be added to the Collection. 



The skin lacks the head and hoofs. 



The neck is a dusky fawn. The back, from the withers to 

 the tail is bright bay, reminiscent of the colour of the Bongo, 

 Booctrcus^ but rather lighter. This colour is continued 

 along the upper part of the tail to the tuft at the end. 

 Median line black, except for a short space behind the 

 withers, where it is white. Eight clearly marked vertical 

 stripes, and a few fainter ones behind them over the quarters. 

 The bay-colour of the back passes gradually into the white 

 of the belly. A black patch above the hind surface of knee.
