Similar in most essential characters to B. caama, but the face is entirely 
without the black blaze always found in that species, being rufous like the 
rest of the head, and the horns are not so abruptly bent backwards above, 
the back of the last bend forming an even open curve. ‘The body-colours of 
BL. jacksoni are, however, not yet accurately known, so that it is possible that 
other differences will hereafter be found to exist. 
Skull: basal length 16 inches, greatest breadth 5:7, orbit to muzzle 12°7 ; 
facial length 17-5, breadth of forehead 4:2. 
Hab. Interior of British Central Africa, north of Lake Baringo; Uganda; 
and probably extending northwards to the White Nile, and westwards into 
North-east Congoland.
