RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



Frontlet and Horns of Seneijamliian Eland, from the Gambia. 



SENEGAMBIAN ELAND (Taurotragus derbianus). 



Although living specimens appear formerly to have been in the 

 collection at Knowsley, this magnificent species is chiefly known in 

 England by the horns. These arc longer and stouter than those of the 

 common species, and thus confirm the statements as to the larger 

 size of the western animal. The bulls are reported to have no dark 

 fore-lock, but a dark-brown mane. Horns of cows are relatively small. 



Distribution. — The open districts of the interior of Senegambia 



and Gambia.
