Head of WliiLo-BeavdeJ Gnu. 



WHITE-BEAKDED GNU (Connochoetes taurinus albojubatus). 



Swahili name Nyiiuibu. 



Apparently a local race of the brindled gnu, distinguished by its 

 slightly paler coloration, and the yellowish white throat-fringe, a few 

 whitish hairs being also mingled with the mane. 



The widest part of the front of the horns is somewhat different 

 from the corresponding portion of the typical variety, as will be seen 

 by reference to the illustrations. 

 Distribution. — East Africa, Athi plains, Ukambani, north of Kilimanjaro.
