AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 
the dark seal-brown color of the basal hair showing through 
conspicuously everywhere, and the white area of the with¬ 
ers, nape, and head suffused extensively by the ferruginous. 
The hind part of the quarters and hind legs are everywhere 
except in front of the hocks uniform ochraceous-tawny. 
An adult male intermediate in age between the two 
males described is peculiar in coloration. It lacks all trace 
of the whitish wither and head areas, being in color quite 
uniform ochraceous-buff like the female. The color of the 
body is ochraceous, but becomes lighter on sides or buffy. 
The hind limbs are buffy and the forelegs buffy with a 
dusky blotch in front on the thighs above the knee. The 
nape of the neck is like the back in color. The sides of the 
neck and the throat are dusky-brown overlaid by buffy 
hairs. The crown of the head and the snout and the back 
of the ears are ochraceous. The inside of the ears and the 
supraocular stripes are white, and the sides of the face 
dusky-brown. The lips, the border of the nostrils, and the 
chin are white, the latter merging into the buff of the throat 
which extends as a narrow line to the chest. The under¬ 
parts are white but not sharply contrasted with the buffy 
sides and the inside of the legs. The tail is buffy above and 
white beneath with dark seal-brown tip. The old female 
specimen, which has the teeth much worn, has the dorsal 
color ochraceous-tawny but lacks the light patch on the 
withers and the head of the male, and very little of the 
dark-brown under fur shows through the tawny. The sides 
are lighter and buffy, and the limbs are uniform buffy with 
an indefinite drab streak on the front side from the hoofs 
to the knees and the hocks. The tail is buffy with a tufted 
black tip. The under-parts, the inside of the legs, and the 
under side of the tail are white. The throat and the chest 
are cream-buff in contrast to the tawny nape. The back of 
the ears, crown, and snout are ochraceous-tawny. The in¬ 
side of the ears and the base are cream-buff; and the supra¬ 
ocular stripe is similar in color. The eye has a seal-brown 
blotch below and the whole side of the face to the snout 
shows seal-brown under hair overlaid by buffy. The lips, 
chin, and borders of the nostrils are whitish. The general 
coloration is similar to that of the female leucotis , but is 
lighter and more buffy.
