EixAR Lönnberg, 



front of these a little above the anterior corner of the eye is a single 

 bristle situated. Below and a little behind the posterior corner of the 

 eye two bristles are placed together. These correspond with the white 

 spot with a couple of bristles below the eye in Tragelaphus and the 

 foetus of Bnsflaphus. Below, and iti front of these, there is along the 

 lower jaw a series of 5 or 6 single bristles. The most posterior of 

 these corresponds to a white spot with a single bristle in the foetus 

 of Boselaphus (conf. below). In addition to these there are some scattered 

 bristles and long hairs on the chin and lower lip. Quite a conspicuous 

 organ is found between the rami of the mandible a little in front of a line 

 drawn through the corners of the mouth. It forms a prominent cushion 

 about four mm. in diameter with fine bristles arranged in a horse-shoe 

 along the frontmargin. The chin and lower lip are hairy. The upper 

 lip is also hairy along the margin, and behind the rhinarium a number 

 of bristles are seen arranged in four vertical series. The body is 

 naked, as is already mentioned, but on the dorsal surface of the neck 

 and on the foreleg in the region between the carpal and the elbow- 

 joint some few scattered hairs are beginning to show their tips, and in 

 less degree on the hindleg in the neighbourhood of the knee-joint. 



The row of pores along the anteorbital gland of the face is 

 quite straight not curved as in Gephalophus melanorhoeus. The pores 

 are not well conspicuous, but they seem to be fewer in number than 

 in the smaller species, or about 15. At least in some instances there 

 seems to be upper and lower small pores in addition to the main pores. 



The vertical groove of the upper lip extends inwards to papilla 

 incisiva round which it forms a circular groove. There are about 

 1C — 17 palatal ridges, but the posterior ones are only little prominent 

 although as in Ö. melanorhoeus they are more distinctly crenulated 

 than the anterior ones. All of them are more or less distinctly inter- 

 rupted in the middle. The buccal papillae have a very peculiar shape 

 and may be said to be compound as they have three to five roundish 

 tips, the middle one of which is larger than the others and may be 

 termed digitiform. 



The caruncula sublingualis is represented by a narrow fold, broadly 

 and shortly triangular in shape. Behind the same a row of flattened 

 papillae extend backwards along each side of the tongue. 



The papillce filiformes of the tongue are as yet roundish warts, 

 posteriorly larger, as usual. The papïllœ fungiformes are evenly scat- 

 tered over the tongue with exception of the posterior median portion..
