and neck retains its darker points, even when the 
winter coat is dropping off. 
The upper parts of tlie body are of a clear yellow- 
ish-brown colour, deepening on the ridge of the back 
into blackish-grey. The hairs are much longer be- 
tween the ears and on the back of the neck, where 
they form an erect mane, of a blackish-brown colour 
on its tips. The sides and thighs are paler than the 
back, and approach in colour to a clear wood-brown. 
The under jaw is of a very pale yellowish -brown co- 
lour, fading to white. The hair is bushy about the 
angle of the lower jaw, and has a wood-brown colour. 
This colour forms three belts across the throat, which 
differ from each other in breadth, and are separated 
by two patches of pure white. The chest, belly, in- 
sides of the thighs, and legs, the tall, and a large 
patch around it, which includes the rump and upper 
part of the buttocks, are pure white. There is a 
pale yellowish mark at the root of the tail, which is 
four and a half inches long. The legs are slender, 
with long shank-bones. The fur covering their an- 
terior surfaces is yellowish brown. It has only two 
hoofs, there being no vestige of the posterior supple- 
mentary ones. 
The length of the animal, from the nose to the 
root of the tail, is about four feet tour inches. The 
height at the shoulder about three feet. 
The females examined by Dr Richardson were 
nearly without horns, although by some writers both 
sexes are said to be furnished with these weapons.
