AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 
patch between the ears and the midline of the snout is 
speckled by dusky. The sides of the head are pure yellow- 
ochre, but the orbital area is lighter buff in color. The chin 
and the upper throat are cream color. The back of the ear 
is much darker than the body, the general effect being snuff- 
brown, but the hair covering itself is tawny. The inner side 
and the base of the ears including the bare spot are cream- 
buff. The legs are ochraceous-buff with a narrow, dusky- 
brown stripe in front from the hoofs to the shoulder on the 
forelegs, but only reaching ‘half-way to the hocks on the 
hind legs. The tail is tawny above, and white below, with 
the tip chiefly white. The under-parts are pure white, and 
sharply defined on the sides against the tawny-ochraceous; 
the white reaches as far forward as the chest, and also ex¬ 
tends as a narrow line down the inside of the legs. 
An adult female specimen measured in the flesh: 49 inches 
in length of head and body; tail, 7^ inches; hind foot, 15^2 
inches; ear, 6 inches. Greatest length of skull, inches. 
Besides the specimens from the type locality, others have 
been examined from Taveta, on the east slope of Kiliman¬ 
jaro, collected by Doctor L. W. Abbott. Three of these 
specimens are males, and exhibit short, narrow, and sharply 
hooked horns, by which they are distinguishable from the 
larger-horned wardi.

Mr. Gilbert Blaine has recently described from the 
highlands of Ankole in southwest Uganda a new race of 
reedbuck differing from wardi by its shorter, less-hooked 
horns, and darker and browner color. Specimens in the 
National Museum, collected in central Uganda from the 
Maanja River, are not distinguishable from wardi from 
the Uasin Gishu Plateau either in color or horn shape. The 
three males from the Maanja River have their horns sharply 
hooked forward as in typical wardi. The form described as 
ugandce may be a local race confined to the Ankole highlands 
while central and eastern Uganda is occupied by wardi.
