dark reddish polygonal marking with very sharply defined edges 

 with very narrow interspaces of white to fawn, and by the legs 

 below the knees being unspotted and white ; the males have a 

 third horn in the centre of the forehead just above the eyes from 

 three to five inches long, and this spot is marked in the young 

 animal by a prominent tuft of black hairs. 



In the southern form the markings are drab to coffee colour, 

 always darker in the middle and the edges broken and not well 

 defined, and the legs are spotted to the hoofs, on the forehead 

 there is a lump of flattened pyramidal form, but nothing quite 

 of the nature of a horn. 



The northern form (G. camelopardalis) inhabits Gallaland to 

 the north of the Tana Eiver in East Africa, whence it ranges 

 northwards through Somaliland, Abyssinia, and Kordofan, and 

 possibly westwards to Senegambia. 



The southern Giraffe ranges southwards from the Tana Eiver 

 to the Orange Eiver, but does not seem to occur in the southern 

 half of German East Africa or in Nyassaland. 



The Giraffe of Senegal appears to be still imperfectly known, 

 but it is probably identical with the northern or three-horned 

 species. 



Woodcuts of the heads and skulls of the two species illustrate 

 this paper.
