In addition to the forward extent of the white rump-patch, the 

 leading characteristics of this splendid species are to be found in the 

 absence of a black streak dividing the sides of the rump-patch from 

 the fawn of the body, the black-tipped tail, and the very distinct 

 inward hooking of the horns. The ears are long and bordered with 

 black externally, and the face markings well-defined and nearly black. 

 Height at shoulder about 30 to ^6 inches. Weight clean about 70 

 to 90 lbs.
