Longobondo (Pechuel-Loesche, fide Matschie). 
Size large ; form stout and heavy. Lars short, broad, and rounded, their 
length much less than the distance from eye to muzzle. Fur very short on 
the fore-quarters, longer on the hind back, but in adults worn off and showing 
the whitish underfur or naked skin round the base of the tail. General 
colour all over, of face, body above and below, and of limbs, dark blackish 
brown. Crest orange or rufous, little developed in youth, and again wearing 
off in old age. Muzzle, cheeks and chin, and extreme tips of ear whitish. 
Lumbar region with a broad pale yellowish mesial stripe running from the 
middle of the back on to the loins. 
In extreme youth the hairs of the posterior half of the body are all tipped 
with white, except just along what becomes afterwards the pale lumbar stripe, 
where they have long blackish tips, entirely hiding the white; and the 
caudal region, afterwards whitish and partly naked, is clothed with long 
black hairs. 
Skull, in proportion to the size of the animal, delicate, slender, and 
elongate. Muzzle slender, tapering, not laterally swollen between the 
premolars and the anteorbital fossa. Anteorbital fossee of medium depth. 
Mesial notch of palate surpassing anteriorly the lateral ones by about half an 
inch, these latter comparatively deep and V-shaped. 
Horns long and tapering, lying back in or below the line of the nasal 
profile, rather bowed downwards terminally. Divergent, slender, evenly 
tapering, but little roughened at base; those of male and female almost 
precisely alike, except that the latter are slightly smaller. Length (¢) 6:4 
inches ; basal diameter going about 5 or 53 times in the length.
