128 
skins from Sen Morettu, on the Webbe, received from Capt. Swayne, now in 
the British Museum, there are four or five distinct white stripes on the flanks, 
both in adult and immature males, a few white spots on the hind-quarters, and 
a row of white spots extending along each side of the body above the belly. 
Although in some respects this form comes nearer to 7. scriptus, we think it 
better for the present to regard it as a subspecific form of 7’. xoualeyni, which, 
using Mr. Pocock’s subspecific term, we call 7. roualeyni fasciatus, and 
describe as follows :— 
Height at withers about 26 inches. Head and legs of the same colour and pattern 
as in 7. rowaleyni and the other species of this section of the genus. General colour a 
reddish yellow, brighter on the hind-quarters, and distinctly blacker in the dorsal region, 
where the hair assumes a dusky greyish-brown hue. Body marked with four or five 
very distinct, mostly broad, white stripes, a row of white spots running along above the 
belly and a few white spots on the haunches. Hair on body shorter than in J. roualeyni. 
No distinct collar of short hair round the base of the neck, as in T. roualeyni, T. sylvaticus, 
and 7’. scriptus, the entire neck being covered with a coating of short silky hairs of the 
same length as those of the head, much shorter than those of the body, and of a dusky. 
greyish-brown colour. 
Young male redder in colour than the adult and equally strongly marked with white. 
The skull of a subadult male gives the following measurements :—Basal length 
8°25 inches, orbit to muzzle 4°6, greatest width 3°75. 
In the British Museum are a skull of the typical 7. rowaleyni of the 
Limpopo, procured by Gordon Cumming, and a skin and skull from the 
Zambesi obtained by Mr. Selous. There is also in the Museum a good 
series of skins and skulls of this species from Zomba, Nyasaland, and its 
vicinity, transmitted by Sir Harry Johnston and Mr. A. Sharpe, of which 
we have already spoken, and from one of which our figures of the adult skull 
(pp. 126, 127) have been taken. From British East Africa the National 
Collection possesses the mounted adult male from Manda Island presented by 
Sir John Kirk (and figured on our Plate XC., as already mentioned), also 
a mounted female from the same source obtained in British East Africa 
about one hundred miles inland at 6° S. lat. Besides these there are 
Capt. Swayne’s specimens from the River Webbe in the interior of Somaliland, 
already referred to. 
We are not aware that any examples of this Bushbuck have been brought 
to Europe alive.
