RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



WHITE-EARED KOB (Cobus leucotis). 



The smaller antelopes included in the genus Cobus may be 

 popularly termed kobs, and differ from the water-bucks not only by 

 their inferior size, but by the uniformly rufous hue of the upper parts, 

 and the absence of a mane on the neck. From its allies the present 

 species is sufficiently distinguished by the white outer surface of the 

 ears and upper part of the head, including the region of the eyes. 

 Height at shoulder about 34 or 35 inches. 



Distribution. — The region of the Upper Nile, including the Sobat, 

 Bahr-el-Ghazal, and their tributaries, and extending to the Niam- 

 Niam country. The first known example was sent to Berlin 

 by the German artist and traveller Werne, who obtained it in 

 Sennar.
