AFRICAN GAME ANIMALS 
Kilimanjaro in the British Museum is without indications 
of shadow stripes. There is in the National Museum a single 
old male specimen representing this race, collected by the 
Rainey expedition at Mtoto Andei Station in the desert 
nyika zone. This specimen is decidedly larger than any 
of the highland race, has a larger skull, broader stripes on 
the quarters, and more buffy ground-color, but is without 
any trace of shadow stripes. It is evident from this speci¬ 
men that the coast race is a larger form having a somewhat 
more buffy tinge to the light stripes. Owing to the aged 
character of this specimen the mane on the nape is reduced 
to a thin line of short black hair an inch in length. The 
nose has the tan blotch between the nostrils and the tips 
of the forehead stripes well marked as in the males of 
granti. The dark stripes are also deep black, as in granti, 
and are quite the same in arrangement. The width of the 
broadest stripes on the hind quarters is somewhat greater, 
being 3^ inches. The flesh measurements of this specimen 
were: head and body, 91 inches; tail, 18 inches; hind foot, 
22 inches; ear, 7^ inches. The greatest length of the skull 
is 22 inches. 
The coast race is found in well-watered districts through¬ 
out the coast plain and the desert bush country. On the 
lower slopes or plains of Kilimanjaro it is especially abun¬ 
dant. In the thorn scrub of the desert nyika they are only 
found locally in the vicinity of a permanent water supply. 
Herds have been seen near Mtoto Andei Station and also 
near the coast at Maji ya Chumvi. They have also been 
reported on the lower Tana River and the lower Sabaki 
River.
