Size large ; height at withers about 48 inches. Suborbital gland present, 
and provided with a distinct tuft. General colour brownish fulvous, darker 
than in any of the previous species; face with a black blaze running up to 
the horns, but interrupted between the eyes; back of neck with a dark line 
from the horns to the withers ; chin blackish, outer sides of shoulders and 
hips black. ‘These darker markings are not visible in the young. Lower 
part of rump behind whitish or yellowish, contrasting markedly with its dark 
upperside. 
Skull with the frontal part excessively elongated and narrow. ‘The 
measurements of a fine skull in the Leyden Museum are as follows :—basal 
length 17°6 inches, greatest breadth 6:1, orbit to tip of muzzle 12-7; facial 
length 19°3, breadth of forehead below horns 5:1. 
Horns diverging evenly outwards at their bases, so as to form a V when 
viewed from the front, then curved forwards and upwards, and finally bent 
sharply backwards so as to form almost an abrupt right angle behind the last 
bend. Good horns attain a length of about 22 or 24 inches.
