Vernacutak Name:—Paa of Swahilis (Jackson and others).—In common with 
Raphicerus campestris and Nesotragus moschatus. 
Size medium. Proboscis more developed than in group A. General 
colour coarsely grizzled greyish fawn, more or less suffused with fulvous 
on the back, and with rufous on the sides and neck. Limbs rufous, but of 
very variable intensity. 
Skull with the modification due to the development of a proboscis much 
more striking than in the first section of the genus, although not carried 
to such an extreme as in MW. guentheri. Premaxille slender, their upper edge 
forming an S-shaped curve; their ascending process sometimes ending just 
above the anterior tooth, and sometimes rising nearly or quite to meet the 
nasals. Nasals very short. Last lower molar with the usual third lobe charac- 
teristic of all other ruminants but those of the IZ. saltiana group. Even here, 
however, the lobe is very small. Dimensions of a good male example :—Basal
