 diverge more or less regularly upwards, the presence of a black spot on 

 the tip of the muzzle, and the rough character of the hair. General 

 colour dull fawn, with a very indistinct lateral band, well-defined face- 

 markings, the lower portion of the tail crested with black, and the 

 under parts, buttocks, and inner surfaces of fore-legs pure white. 

 Height at shoulder from 26 to 27 inches. 



Distribution. — The mountains of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, where 

 it is known by the name of edmi or admi.
