white. The inside of fore legs and hind legs as also the belly 

 were of a whitish colour ; this was also noticeable on the under 

 surface of the neck and on the lower jaw. The fore legs and 

 hind legs for about four inches above the knee and hock 

 respectively to the fetlock were of a whitish colour. There was 

 a distinct dorsal ridge, which terminated abruptly about the 

 middle of the back, where there was a distinct projection. Two 

 very noticeable features were : — 1. A dark black band which 

 passed backwards along the spine from the termination of the 

 dorsal ridge to the root of the tail ; this band was about two 

 inches broad at its commencement, but gradually tapered off 

 until it was lost at the root of the tail. 2. A large round white 

 patch on the posterior aspect of each buttock ; each patch being a 

 foot in diameter. The upper portions of the head were of a light 

 red colour; the white rings noticed by Col. Pollock round the 

 eyes were not present. The head was very game-like ; there was 

 a well-marked reddish black tuft at the end of the tail. The ears 

 were very large, expanded at the extremity, and mobile; they 

 were of a light red colour, the anterior borders being fringed with 

 long greyish white hairs. The lips and muzzle were of a greyish 

 white colour. The hair of the skin was short, smooth, and 

 glossy. The skin close to the mammae and that of the inside of 

 the ears was destitute of hair, and of a light yellow colour. The 

 great length of the animal was a striking feature.
