of the longitudinal stripe and the more numerous transverse 
stripes, as well as by the smaller body size and much smaller 
ears. 
The adult male has the collar indicated upon the nape 
by an area of short, uniform bone-brown hair which does 
not reach more than half-way down on the sides. In the 
female the collar is not indicated, either by color or length 
of hair. The male and female have the same color pattern, 
the body being crossed by eight to ten transverse white 
stripes, none of which are uniformly white. The lower sides 
are marked by a clear white longitudinal stripe extending 
from the shoulder to the middle of the body and continued 
to the hind quarters by elongate white spots. The hind 
quarters are marked by several rows of white spots which 
extend well up toward the base of the tail. The dorsal mane 
is blackish basally, and has the hair white-tipped, but is only 
indicated in the female by a dark stripe with occasional 
white hairs. The male has the breast seal-brown and the 
legs dark-brown with white areas as in delamerei. The 
female has the breast lighter than the sides, buffy-ochraceous, 
and the legs light-colored with only a median seal-brown 
stripe in front. The head is colored alike in both sexes and 
closely resembles delamerei in pattern and shade. The 
nursing young are like the female in color. 
An adult male in the flesh measured: 49 inches in length 
of head and body; tail, 7 inches; hind foot, 14^ inches; ear, 
53^ inches. A female measured: 44 inches in length; tail, 7 
inches; hind foot, 13 inches; ear, 5 inches. Skull of a male 
measures in greatest length 9 inches, that of a female 
inches. The longest horns measured n }4 inches on the 
curve of the keel in a series of three adults. Ward’s record 
is a Soudan specimen measuring 14^ inches. 
A series representing all ages has been examined from 
Rhino Camp, Lado Enclave, and single specimens from Ni- 
mule and a locality eighty miles east of Gondokoro. Speci¬ 
mens from the two sides of the Nile are quite alike, as are 
also those from the headwaters of the Congo tributaries of 
the Ituri and Welle. The race is not confined to the valley 
of the Nile, but extends westward into the Congo water¬ 
shed.
