a skin without horns or hoofs, said to have been brought by Fraser from 
Tunis, really belonged to this species, must ever remain doubtful. This skin 
is no longer to be found, and if it were really referable to B. major it was 
probably brought by Fraser from West Africa and not from Tunis, where the

typical B. buselaphus is found. Gray’s inaccuracy as regards localities is 
notorious, and Fraser visited both parts of Africa. Under these circumstances 
we may altogether neglect the name “ t¢unisianus” bestowed on this “ variety ” 
in 1852, as being highly doubtful as well as inapplicable.
