GRYSBUCK (Rhaphiceros melanotis). 



Isikiipi of the liasutos. 



From the other members of the oribi group the grysbuck and its 

 consul the steinbuck are readily distinguished by the horns rising nearly 

 vertically from the skull, in which the open spaces below the eye- 

 sockets are uniisuall}- small. Curiousl)' enough, the grysbuck retains 

 the lateral hoofs, which have disappeared in the steinbuck. In addi- 

 tion to this feature, the former is distinguished b}- the fur showing a 

 large admixture of white, instead of being uniformly coloured. Height 

 at shoulder, 22 inches. 

 Distribntion. — South Africa, extending as far north as the Zambesi 



and Mozambique.
