Africa southward across the German border to central 
German East Africa. 
The present race has recently been described from speci¬ 
mens shot by Paul J. Rainey on the headwaters of the 
Amala River near the German border of British East Africa. 
It is a large race, exceeding in body size that of any other in 
British East Africa. The coloration is nearest tjaderi of 
Laikipia, but differs by its more reddish body coloration and 
more restricted black snout patch which ends in front of 
the interorbital region. It is distinguishable from nzoice by 
larger body size, narrower skull, and the absence of strong 
rufous suffusion on the nape. 
The body is cinnamon-drab in effect, the color being 
made up of a mixture of cinnamon hair with black tips inter¬ 
spersed sparingly with white hairs, the black tone due to 
black-tipped hairs which give a dark cast to the whole colora¬ 
tion. The back is darkest, the sides being lighter, and more 
grayish, and the breast fuscous-brown without cinnamon 
vermiculation. The belly and the posterior surface of the 
hind quarters are white, the latter in sharp contrast to the 
dark back and sides. The tail is darker than the back and is 
seal-brown without cinnamon mixture, but the narrow streak 
on the under side is whitish to within a few inches of the tip. 
The legs from the knees and the hock downward are uniform 
dark seal-brown with a fringe of whitish hair about the hoofs 
and the false hoofs. The neck is slightly lighter than the 
body. The sides and the throat are grayish with a white patch 
on the forethroat and with the nape decidedly cinnamon. 
The forehead is uniform rufous from the horn bases to the 
front of the eyes. The ridge of the snout as far as the muz¬ 
zle is black or seal-brown, variegated by a few scattered white 
hairs. The tip of the snout bordering the muzzle, the upper 
lips, and the chin are white. The sides of the snout are tawny, 
lined by black. There is a broad, white stripe above the 
eye extending from the middle to an inch in front of the 
angle on the sides of the snout. The cheeks below are 
grayish, like the sides of the neck. The backs of the ears are 
cinnamon, gradually growing darker toward the tip, where 
they are broadly seal-brown on both sides, and the inside ex¬ 
cept the extreme tip is white. The female is like the male in 
color but darker, owing to heavier black tips to the hair,
