Type in Tring Museum. 



General colour deep brownish black, mingled with 

 reddish brown hairs, thus producing a blue-roan eft'ect, 

 most marked on under-parts and back ; face black, except 

 at base of horns and between ears, where it is chestnut ; a 

 white patch on upper part of throat ; backs of ears rufous 

 brown, with blackish margins and tips ; lower part of legs 

 nearly uniform black, with a narrow white hoof-band ; tail 

 black above and white beneath. Horns relatively short and 

 stout; fine Angolan specimens measuring from 24i to 

 29 inches in length, with a girth of from 8 to 8|, and a 

 tip-to-tip interval of from 9^ to 20 inches. 



If the above-mentioned forms named by Matschie are 

 really nearly related to the typical penricei, the range of the 

 race (or of nearly alUed races) will include western German 

 East Africa.
