Part 45

This is either a partially albino variety or a local form of Cervicapra fulvorufula, discovered by Mr. F. V. Kirby, F.Z.S., on the mountains of the Lydenburg district of the Transvaal. It differs from typical specimens in having the legs white from the knees down, white hoofs, a pure white tail above and beneath, a white spot on the forehead, and a more or less clearly defined white stripe down the back of the neck and along the dorsal line.

There are two specimens of this Antelope in the British Museum, presented by Mr. Kirby.

Genus LITHOCRANIUS. (Vol. III. p. 227.)

Lithocranius sclateri.

Lithocranius sclateri, =O. Neumann=, SB. Ges. nat. Freund. Berlin, 1899, p. 19.

This name has been proposed for the form of Lithocranius that occurs in Somaliland. It is rather larger and has finer horns, as we have stated (see our remarks, vol. iii. p. 230). It is now pointed out that the typical form of East Africa is redder than that of Somaliland, that it has black knee-tufts, and shows a slight difference in the white markings of the tail.

Genus HIPPOTRAGUS. (Vol. IV. p. 3.)

Hippotragus langheldi.

Hippotragus langheldi, =Matsch.= SB. Ges. nat. Freund. Berlin, 1898, p. 182.

Under this name it seems that the same geographical form is described as that which we have called Hippotragus equinus rufo-pallidus (suprà, p. 14), ex H. rufo-pallidus, Neumann, P. Z. S. 1898, p. 850. The type of H. langheldi is from Tabora, German East Africa; it is diagnosed as follows:—“H. bakeri affinis; colli jubâ tricolore, subtùs albâ, supernè brunneâ nigro marginatâ; pectore nigrescente, caudæ basi nigerrimâ.”
