is brown, without a definite collar, being short-haired to the 
white bar on the lower throat, where the long olive hair of 
the body begins abruptly. The upper throat has a large 
median white spot. The snout is without white chevrons. 
The crown of the head and the snout are olive-brown and 
the sides of the head are ochraceous-tawny. The cheeks be¬ 
low the eye are marked by two large white spots. The upper 
lips, chin, and forethoat are white. The back of the ears is 
olive-brown and the tips are seal-brown, while the inside and 
the base are whitish. The adult female has the sides of the 
body bright ochraceous-tawny, with the median area much 
darker cinnamon-brown, through the centre of which ex¬ 
tends a thin white dorsal stripe from the withers to the tail. 
The sides of the body are marked with six or seven transverse 
white stripes, the anterior ones being the longest. The 
lower sides are marked by a line of white spots and the 
hind quarters with about a dozen similar spots irregularly 
arranged. The breast is buffy and lighter than the sides; 
the belly is white. The legs are bright-tawny with the white 
areas arranged as in the male. The tail shows much more 
white below than that of the male, only the median dorsal 
line being cinnamon like the body color. The collar on the 
neck is more distinctly marked than in the male. The 
crown of the head is bright-rufous, the snout dorsally olive- 
brown with narrow white chevrons from the eye to the snout, 
and the rest of the head is colored as in the male. 
An adult male buck measured in the flesh: 44 inches in 
length of head and body; tail, 8 inches; hind foot, 14^ inches; 
ear, 5 yi inches; length of skull, 9 inches. The horns of 
the type measure in length 12 inches on the curve of the 
keel. The specimen in the British Museum from Lamu has 
much greater horns, their length on the curve being 
inches. The female is somewhat smaller than the male.
