NEUMANN'S HAKTEBEEST (Bubalis tora neumanni). 



Nearl}' allied to the typical tora, but distinguished by the stouter 

 horns, on which the rings are less distinct and do not extend so far 

 round, and the generally richer coloration. The horns arc also less 

 divergent. Mr. Walter Rothschild, the describer of this form, gives 

 the following particulars : — 



Colour of hair fulvous fawn, much richer on the back, -where there 

 are also some darker spots, which may be stains or natural ; below 

 very much paler. Chin blackish, tip of tail black. The male is 

 brighter and darker in colour than the female. There are also on the 

 back some patches with longer, thicker, almost whitish-buff hair, 

 perhaps remains of the winter fur. 

 Description. — East Africa, in the neighbourhood of Lake Rudolph. 



Discovered by A. H. Neumann.
