BUBAUN.'E 29 



be from a hybrid between the present species and Damaliscus 

 lunatm. Tati Valley, Matabililand. The donor states 

 {Field, vol. cxxii, p. 363, 1913) that the antelope to which 

 this specimen pertained was shot in 1890 by Cornelius 

 van Eooyen. While in general body-colour this antelope 

 resembled a tsessebe, it had the comparatively bushy tail of 

 a Cape hartebeest ; the length of its head was intermediate 

 between that of these two species, and its horns were unlike 

 those of any other antelope.
