front reaches from the hoofs about three-quarters the distance 

 to level of hocks. In 1913 the writer saw the mounted head 

 of an East African hartebeest of the jachsoni type in which 

 nearly the whole face was chocolate-brown. Whether both this 

 specimen and the type of insignis really represent a distinct 

 race, or whether they are individual " sports," is doubtful.

Typical locality Gondokoro, Mongalla Province. 



Type in U.S. National Museum. 



Nearly akin to insignis, but without dark markings on 

 face or back ; general colour lighter than in niediecki, with 

 which it agrees in the parallel or inward direction of the 

 horn-tips. A seal-brown patch above hoofs, continued as a 

 tawny streak on fronts of legs to knees and level of hocks ; 

 chin with a similar brown patch. General colour lighter 

 yellow rufous than in any other race. In the skull the 

 na.sals and the upper series of cheek-teeth larger than in 

 jachsoni, the former measuring 9j inches (234 mm.) and the 

 latter A-fg inches (105 mm.). In addition to the parallelism 

 or slight convergence of their tips, the horns differ from 

 those of jacJcsoni by their straighter profile, and by the angle 

 at base of tips being more obtuse.
