the male from the north and the female from the south side

 especially in the male, the spots assume an irregular rosette- 

 like form; ground-colour of neck and body light smoky 

 brown, darker on neck ; under-parts white, with numerous 

 small spots ; shanks brownish ochre, finely spotted in their 

 upper halves. Anterior horn well developed.

Type in Tring Museum. 



Allied to capensis (infra, p. 256), but with the brown 

 markings of the sub-quadrangular type of those of congoensis, 

 and separated from one another by a network of lighter lines. 

 Spots on face restricted to an area below a line connecting 

 the lower border of eye with angle of mouth ; an indistinct 

 triangular white patch below ear ; body-spots large, brown, 

 with ill-deiined margins ; a sudden break into smaller spots 

 at middle of thighs and on the corresponding part of fore-legs, 

 recalling the similar but more strongly pronounced feature in 

 antiquorum, which this race also resembles in the abundant 

 spotting of the under-parts ; ground-colour white or whitish ; 

 shanks tawny, profusely spotted to the hoofs. Anterior 

 horn represented by a low tuberosity or swelling ; whether 

 occipital horns were developed is not apparent.
