Like its predecessors, it has been prepared by Mr. R. Lydekker, who has received much assistance, as in the case of Volume II., from Mr. Gilbert Blaine. A fourth Volume of this Catalogue is in preparation, which it is hoped will include the remainder of the Artiodactyla. SIDNEY F. HARMER, Keeper of Zoology. British Museum (Naturat History), Lonpon, 8.W. June 6, 1914, a 2 Cornell University Library The original of this book is in the Cornell University Library. There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924024783346 INTRODUCTION Tus volume, in which I have again been greatly assisted by Mr. Blaine, completes the Bovide, and also includes the Antilocapride and Girafide. As in Volume IT., advantage has been taken of the copious synonymy in ‘“ The Book of Antelopes,” which is much fuller than that given in most of the other groups included in this Catalogue. It has, however, been found since the publica- tion of the preceding volume that the references given in the aforesaid work to “Jardine’s Naturalists’ Library” (not infrequently misquoted “ Naturalists’ Miscellany”) do not relate to the first edition, which is the one quoted in the present volume. It has also been noticed that in some of the references in “The Book of Antelopes” to F. Cuvier’s “ Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes” the dates of the several “livraisons” in which the plates were originally issued are quoted, whereas in certain other cases, like Antilope seripta, which dates from 1826, the date on the title-page to the concluding volume (1842) is quoted. In the present volume the original dates of the respective “ livraisons,” or plates, are quoted. It may be added that the copies of F. Cuvier’s work in the libraries of the Museum and of the Zoological Society do not accord with one another either in the order in which the plates are bound up or in their numbering, which is in MS. This is exemplified by the following instances :— Museum Zool. Society's Copy. Copy.

REPRESENTED by a single species, of the approximate stature of the medium-sized gazelles. General form some- ~ what gazelle-like, but neck slender and elongated, horns (which are absent in female) curving backwards and then forwards, much in the fashion of those of a reedbuck, and tail long, reaching nearly to hocks; muzzle hairy; face- glands present and gazelle-like; foot-glands and inguinal glands apparently wanting; two pairs of teats; knees with small glandular tufts; lateral hoofs small; tail medium. Skull of a gazelle-like type, with shallow lachrymal depres- sions, and the premaxille reaching the nasals; the normal three pairs of premolars in each jaw, of which the first are usually small. Restricted to Somaliland. In regard to the affinities of this genus, Pocock, after referring to his examination of certain dried skins, proceeds to remark that “superficially the feet showed no signs of pedal glands. Certainly there were none such as exist in the Antilopinw ; and I judged that the feet resembled those of Atpyceros or Kobus. Also there were two pairs of well- developed teats, and, I could find no evidence of inguinal glands. These features, coupled with the long ‘bovine’ tail, and the shape and direction of the horns, which are more cervicaprine [reduncine] than gazelline, should exclude the genus from the Antilopinw. On the other hand, the preorbital glands appear to be like those of Gazella, and the muzzle is hairy, as in that genus. The skull is also very gazelline. “These cross-resemblances make Amnodorcas extremely difficult to classify. It has been described as intermediate between Gazella and Irthocranius. This is true of the length of the neck, the structure of the upper lip, and some characters connected with the skull. On the other hand, in AMMODORKCAS 3 the structure of the feet, horns, and tail the genus is less gazelline than Lithocranius.” AMMODORCAS CLARKE! Cervicapra clarkei, Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat.

Horns (absent in females) of medium length, heteronymous, somewhat irregularly lyrate, heavily ridged, and (unlike those of all other antelopes) amber- coloured or whitish; tail short ; nose inflated and prolonged into a kind of downwardly bent proboscis, with the nostrils opening downwards ; muzzle hairy ; small face-glands ; glands in all four feet, comparable in structure, according to Pocock, to those of a sheep rather than to those of a gazelle; a pair of small inguinal glands, placed close to the teats, which are four in number; a pair of tufted knee-glands; lateral hoofs present ; foot-structure not fully known; tail short. Skull with short premaxille and nasals, a large and vaulted nasal aperture, small supraorbital pits, shallow lachrymal depres- sions, but no lachrymal vacuities; two pairs of lower and SAIGIN AL 13 three of upper premolars in the adult of the existing species, but apparently three lower pairs in the extinct European Pleistocene S. prisca.* The range of the single living species of the subfamily during the historic period included the steppes of south- eastern Europe and north-western Asia, from those between the Volga and Ural through the government of Samara, and thence eastward over the Kirghiz Steppes and the steppe- country of western Siberia; to the south it extended into Russian Turkestan, Zungaria, and the western side of the Gobi. During the Pleistocene the group ranged into western Europe. Genus SAIGA. Saiga, Gray, List Mamm. Brit. Mus. p. xxvi, 1843; Sclater and Thomas, Book of Antelopes, vol. iii, p. 29, 1897; Pocock, Proc.

Basal length of skull about 94 inches. Good horns measure from 12 to 14 inches in length, with a basal girth of from 43 to 54, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 2 to 54 inches.

PANTHOLOPINA 17 SuBFAMILY xiii—PANTHOLOPIN-A. Represented by a single existing species, of somewhat larger size than the saiga. Horns (wanting in females) long, erect, and compressed, diverging at first slightly and then more markedly, with an evenly forward heteronymous curve towards the tips, which are often a little turned in, heavily ridged on front surface for their basal two-thirds ; tail short ; nose slightly bent downwards, and much inflated laterally, at least in males, with the nostrils normally placed; muzzle hairy ; face-glands and foot-glands* wanting ; inguinal glands very large and deep, opening at a distance from the single pair of teats; no knee-tufts; lateral hoofs present; feet of the general type of those of the Oreotragine (vol. li, p. 122), with a strong backward fold in the interungual membrane, in correlation with the full development of the hind part (“heel”) of the lower surface, and the integument itself hairy as far down as the “heel-tie”; tail short. Skull with a relatively large nasal aperture (smaller than in Saiga), but without distinct supraorbital pits or lachrymal depressicns ; two pairs of upper and lower premolars in adult.f The single generic representative of this subfamily, together with Saiga and A¥pyceros, was included by Sclater and Thomas in the Antilopinw. Pocock remarks, however, that in the present genus “the integumental web which ties the hoofs together is as deep and strong as in cattle (Bos) or elands (Taurotragus), and the feet are quite different from those of typical gazelles...; and the hoofs clearly have nothing like the extension seen in the feet of sheep and goats.” Although exhibiting some relationship to Saiga, it is considered by the same writer that Pantholops should be allowed, at least provisionally, separate subfamily rank. The range is confined to the plateau of Tibet, where, in addition to the existing form, the single genus appears to be represented by an extinct species from the later Tertiary * Teste Pocock. { This was first pointed out by Pousargues, Mém. Soc. Zool. France, vol. xi, p. 174. Whether the missing teeth are developed in the young and subsequently shed, as is the case with the anterior pair of lower premolars in Saiga, does not appear to be ascertained. III.

Includes a large number of, for the most part, gracefully built medium-sized or rather small antelopes, with the horns (which may be present or absent in females, and when developed in that sex are smaller and simpler than in males) either twisted in a heteronymous corkscrew-like spiral, or curved backwards in such a manner that the basal portion is 22 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES convex anteriorly, and in some cases more or less distinctly lyrate, always with well developed ridges; tail moderately or very short; nose normal and muzzle hairy; face-glands usually present; inguinal glands present or absent; teats usual 2, rarely 4; glandular knee-tufts generally present ; lateral hoofs retained ; feet with a large interdigital cleft, as in Bubaline (vol. ii, p. 2), and foot-glands in each pair, which form the deep cleft with a long aperture on the front of the pasterns, and the web extending forwards as a close fold of integument from the “heel” towards the front of the hoofs, so as to separate the cavity of the gland from the space between the hoofs; tail short or medium. Skull with supraorbital pits, and usually lachrymal depressions and lachrymal vacuities ; upper molars, as in the three preceding subfamilies, of the tall, narrow, caprine type; three pairs of lower premolars, except in Antidorcas. Face-markings, which appear late in life, generally in the form of alternating light and dark streaks; these in some cases disappearing and leaving the whole face white.

General colour of adult male brownish fawn, gradually darkening—at least in certain individuals and for some portion of the year—to deep 26 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES shining black; muzzle, chin, a patch round eyes, ears, chest, under-parts, inner sides of legs, and under side of tail, white ; back of neck, especially in the black phase, yellowish; an indistinct narrow band, most conspicuous in young, on upper parts of flanks whitish; outer side of limbs and upper surface of tail brown, the tail having an indistinct blackish tip. In the female the black areas of the male are brownish fawn, the backs of the ears and the nape of the neck being also fawn. Basal length of skull about 8} inches. Fine horns measure from 24 to 304 inches in length, in a straight line, with a basal girth of from 44 to 54 inches, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 15 to 26 inches. The black livery of adult bucks—which does not seem to be assumed in all cases—appears to be a seasonal phase, at least in some parts of India; being replaced after the rutting season, in spring, by a brown dress, which is retained till the close of the rainy season, when the sable livery is once more assumed.* This is confirmed by observations made by Pocock ¢ on specimens in captivity. 620, a. b. c. 7.

Horns generally present in both sexes, and in the male strongly ridged all round, usually of moderate length, and, with the exception of the smooth tips, curving backwards, so as to be convex anteriorly in the basal portion, and concave in the middle portion, while the tips are generally bent forwards or inwards, the whole form being in some cases * See the figure (18) facing p. 17 in Theod Cook’s Spi } Nature and Art, 1903. oe aren eee ee ANTILOPINE 29 more or less sublyrate or lyrate; face-glands usually present, smaller than in typical genus, but with same valvular structure; tail moderately or very short; inguinal glands generally present; teats normally 2; feet differing from those of Antilope by the hairy and thinner interungual web, and the practically bare interdigital cleft; face-markings, when fully developed, in the form of alternate light and dark streaks. Skull usually with shallow lachrymal de- pressions, and always three pairs of lower premolars (in G. picticaudata the development of the first pair, according to Pousargues, is retarded). The range of the genus includes western and central Asia as far east as Mongolia and Kan-su, peninsular India, and northern and eastern Africa. The genus may be divided into the following three groups :-— A. Tail typically very short; females hornless; face with- out alternating dark and light stripes; knee-tufts absent or rudimentary ; rump-patch well developed.... Procapra. B. Tail longer; females usually horned; face with or less developed dark and light alternating stripes; knee- tufts large. a.

Typical locality Hundes district of Tibet. Size relatively small, the shoulder-height being about 24 or 25 inches. Horns relatively long and slender, much compressed, and heavily ridged, arising vertically from skull, and then curving evenly and regularly backwards with but little divergence, the tips bending upwards and slightly inwards; no face-glands, inguinal glands, or knee-tufts ; coat in winter close and thick, in summer short; general colour in winter pale fawn, darkening posteriorly, and becoming almost rufous near the large white rump-patch, which surrounds the root of the very short tail; in summer the general colour slaty grey; ears short, narrow, pointed, and well haired; under-parts white; limbs white or very pale fawn. Skull relatively broad, without distinct lachrymal depressions, and with relatively broad nasals, tapering evenly forwards; basal length about 63 inghes. Good horns measure from 12 to 14} inches in length, with a basal girth of from 34 to 4?, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 2 to. 32 inches. The range extends from the high ranges of Spiti and the Changchenmo district of Ladak through the Tibetan plateau to Kan-su, Shen-si, and the Tatung-gol Valley, a tributary of the Hoang-ho, to the north of Koko Nor. Pousargues regards this species as showing affinity with Pantholops, although in the absence of inguinal glands it is markedly different from that genus. The late appearance of the anterior lower premolar may foreshadow the loss of that tooth in Pantholops. 48. 6.11.19. Skull, with horns. Hundes district of Tibet. Type. Presented by B. H.

Skull long and narrow, with rather elongated, pointed nasals and shallow ANTILOPIN A 37 lachrymal depressions; basal length about 94 inches. Fine horns measure from 13 to 153 inches in length, with a basal girth of from 3} to 5, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 41 to 74 inches. In the rutting seasons the males develop a goitre-like swelling in the throat. The range formerly extended from the Little Altai, in north-western Mongolia, through the southern part of Transbaikalia and northern and eastern Mongolia to Amurland and Kan-su; it now stops consider- ably short of the Amur peninsula. This species is so largely intermediate in characters between G. picticaudata and G. preewalskit on the one hand and G. subguttwrosa on the other as to render it inadvisable to give Procapra more than subgeneric rank. So far as the specimens in the collection are concerned, the coloured figures in the Book of Antelopes are misleading, the hind-quarters, flanks, and limbs being represented as white, and the fawn area merely as a kind of saddle. Brooke’s description is approximately true to nature. If the Altai form be distinct, the following two races may be recognised :— A. Fawn area smaller; horns less spreading; skull MATT OW CL: sia cteciaes de ciguings amet dec aamaaumeseesonh eames G. g. gutturosa. B.

Resembles subguttwrosa in the absence of horns in the females and the “goitre” in the throat of the males, but differs by its superior size — shoulder-height about 29 inches — well- developed face-markings, larger ears, and more sublyrate horns, which have comparatively few (about 14) ridges; the white area on the buttocks is, moreover, somewhat larger, extending upwards on each side of the root of the tail. General colour light rufous brown, or dark fawn; median dark face-stripe running right up forehead and splitting to terminate at base of each horn; between the light stripes, with the exception of a narrow streak, the greater part of ANTILOPIN 4 47 face, including muzzle, fawn-coloured, like back. Good horns measure from 13 to 17 inches in length, with a girth of from 44 to 5, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 3 to 73 inches. The range apparently includes the Kulja district of the Tien Shan. 91. 8. 7. 86. Skull, with horns. Plains of Yarkand; collected by Mr. A. Dalgleish. Presented by A. O.

Typical locality Sistan (Seistan), Eastern Persia. Closely related to the last, but distinguished by the smaller extent of white on the buttocks (fig. 10), the greyish forehead (especially in old individuals), the presence of a whitish band at base of horns, and the indistinct nose- 48 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES spot, below which the whole muzzle is white, as well as by the, apparently, somewhat larger ears.

Gazella hayi, Lydekker, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1911, p. 961. It was the result of an unfortunate accident, namely the transposition of the registration labels of two gazelles received simultaneously at the British Museum, that a specimen of this gazelle was described as a new African species under the name G. hayi. Typical locality Jalk, on the fringe of the Sistan (Seistan) Desert, Eastern Persia. Type (the female head figured by Blanford) in Indian Museum, Calcutta. Horns present in both sexes, and males without a “soitre” (as in all the following species). Apparently somewhat smaller than seistanica (shoulder-height probably about 28 inches), from which it is distinguished, in addition to the above characters, by the absence of marked inturning of the horns, the smaller size of the white area on the buttocks, and the light rufous fawn forehead and middle line of face, with only the lips and the extremity of the muzzle whitish; the flank and pygal bands being slightly darker than the general body-colour. This species apparently inhabits elevations not exceeding 3000 feet; its distributional area including Sistan (Seistan) and probably part of Baluchistan. 8. 3.12.1. Head, mounted.

Nearly related to fuscifrons and bennettz, of which it may be regarded as the African representative, but larger than the latter, with the coat rougher than in either (in accordance with its mountain habitat), the nose-spot larger, more defined, and black, the lateral face-stripes, flank-band, and pygal band darker, and the tail more thickly haired. Size rather larger than in bennetti, shoulder-height about ANTILOPIN & 55 26 to 27 inches. Horns relatively short, thick, strongly ridged, but little divergent, with a very slight backward curvature, and a small upward and forward bend at the tips ; coat rather long, rough, and coarse; general colour dull fawn ; median face-stripe brownish fawn, with a large black nose-patich, in front of which the muzzle is whitish; ears long and pointed, with the backs fawn; flank and pygal bands distinct and darker than back. Basal length of skull about 72 inches, maximum breadth 38, length from muzzle to orbit 48 inches. Fine horns measure from 114 to 14% inches in length, with a basal girth of from 3} to 5, and a tip-to tip interval] of from 32 to 8 inches.

Coat, general colour, and colour-pattern as in cwviert; horns relatively short, thick basally, and distinctly S-shaped, curving back- wards below the tips, and forwards at the tips themselves, with about 10 or 12 not very strongly pronounced ridges (against from 20 to 24 bolder ones on the comparatively straight horns of ewviert). Skull smaller than in that species, with the premaxille stopping short of the nasals, instead of forming a broad articulation with them; basal length 52 inches (170 mm.), maximum width 34 (88 mm.), ANTILOPINAE 57 length from muzzle to orbit 34% inches (99 mm.). Length of horns 93 inches (241 mm.), girth 4,8; inches (108 mm.). From arabica, to which there is a certain resemblance in the set and curvature of the horns, this species is dis- tinguished by its larger size; being in fact intermediate in this respect between cuvieri and arabica. Sclater and Thomas, who identified it with G@. dorcas, regarded Antilope gazella, Pallas (1766), as a synonym of Capra gazella, Linn. (= Oryx gazella), but this view is rejected by O.

Differs from cxviert by its rather smaller size, smoother and darker coat, and smoky brown pygal and flank bands. Size medium, shoulder-height 24 or 25 inches. Horns rather short and thick, nearly parallel, with a slight backward curve, and a forward inclination at the tips; general colour dark smoky fawn, darker than in any of the allied species ; median face-stripe dark rufous fawn, with a black nose-spot ; ears medium, brownish fawn on backs; flank- and pygal bands dark smoky brown; limbs more rufous than body. Basal length of skull about 6? inches, maximum breadth 3, length from muzzle to orbit 32 inches. Good horns measure from 84 to 103 inches in length, with a basal girth of from 4 to 43, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 4 to 4} inches. The range is restricted to western Arabia. The species has been divided into three local races, distinguished as follows :— A. Flank-band present. a. General colour dark smoky fawn .............6.55 G. a. erlangert. b.

A pale-coloured desert form, of the approximate size of muscatensis, but with longer and more regularly incurving ANTILOPIN A 61 horns and a white forehead. General colour pale fawn ; fawn face-streaks nearly obsolete, when distinguishable, not darker than general body-colour and but slightly defined from intervening white streaks; ears long, whitish fawn on the backs; pale flank-band practically obsolete, and the dark one, as well as that on front border of rump-patch, pale brown and scarcely deeper in tint than the general colour, into which it merges; limbs mainly whitish, the fawn being restricted to the front surface of the fore-legs as far as the knees, and to the outer side of the hind-legs to some distance below the hocks. Basal length of skull 64, maximum width 33;, length from muzzle to orbit 34 inches. In the Book of Antelopes (although not in the original description) this species is stated, apparently on account of the slight development of the face-markings, to be related to G. subgutturosa, to which, however, it seems to have no real affinity, the females having horns and the males apparently lacking a goitre. The range includes the desert tract from Nejd to western Oman. 97. 1.14.5. Skull, with horns, and skin. Desert near Nejd. Type. Presented by Lieut.-Col. A. S. G. Jayakar, 1897. 97.1.14.6.

Zool. vol. xxi, p. 155, 1914; Ward’s Records of Big Game, ed. 7, p. 261, 1914. Typical locality Eastern Sudan. Closely allied to typical race, but apparently paler in colour, with a smaller amount of buff on face, a broader dark flank-band, and longer horns, more incurved at tips. General colour pale yellowish brown; longer hairs on forehead, crown, nose, back of neck, and a patch on cheeks rufous; area round eye and an ill-defined streak extending thence towards nose whitish; upper lip isabelle-fawn on sides, whitish in front; lower lip, chin, and throat also whitish; backs of ears pale fawn, becoming whitish at base laterally, inner sides, margins, and tips with long white hairs. Horns in profile recalling those of G. thomsoni (infra), in front view more or less lyrate, with the tips inclined strongly inwards and slightly forwards. The range includes Kordofan, El Obeid, and other parts of the Eastern Sudan, extending to the Blue Nile and Dinder Valleys. Sclater and Thomas tentatively identified the eastern form of Sundevall’s G. levipes with G. rufina, but it has been definitely proved by Lénnberg to be the same as the so-called G. salm. 99. 7.1.2.

In a typical specimen the basal length of the skull was 63 inches, the maximum breadth 32, and the length from muzzle to orbit 38 inches; some distinctive features of the skull are mentioned under the heading of littoralis, Fine horns measure from 12 to 132 inches in length, with a basal girth of from 34 to 43. The range includes Egypt, Abyssinia, Kordofan, Tripoli, the Algerian Sahara, and the Lake Chad district. A.—Gazella dorcas dorcas. Typical locality Egypt.

Typical locality north-west Africa, probably in the neighbourhood of Lake Chad (teste O. Neumann). Shoulder-height from about 36 to 37 inches. Horns comparatively short, thick, curving strongly backwards at first, and hooked inwards and forwards at tips; no dark flank or pygal band, and the white of the buttocks, which is very variable in extent, including the tail, of which the extreme tip may be fawn; general colour—which may be restricted to neck and back—deep rufous. The range includes the desert tracts of north-western and northern Africa, from Senegal and Gambia to Dongola. The four races here recognised are distinguishable as follows :— A. Rufous area extending over body and flanks, well defined from white. a, Sides of thighs white, the rufous of body not joining that of hind-limbs.............. 0.0.8 G. d. dama. b.

Colour-pattern much the same as in next race, but white of hind-quarters, although much less extensive than in rufi- collis, spreading more over body, and uniting on thighs with that of flanks, so as to cut off rufous of outer sides of limbs from that of back. Good horns measure from 12 to 14% inches in length, with a basal girth of from 5% to 64, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 34 to 84 inches.

Type in Berlin Museum. General coloration very like that of mhorr, but the rufous area more restricted, the white of rump extending forwards along sides in the form of a wedge, so as to leave only a narrow bridge connecting rufous of back with that of thigh ; upper part of fore-legs wholly white, but front surface below knees rufous; rufous dorsal area smaller than in mhor7v, extending only halfway down sides of body; whole nasal region white, only a faint dark (not black) streak, which may be absent, below eye, and merely a few rufous hairs between horns. In examples lacking the dark eye-stripe nearly the entire head is white. Ina specimen in the Tring Museum the horns measure 84 inches in length, with a girth of 33, and a tip-to-tip interval of 53 inches. No example in collection. The specimen to which the following name has been given may be inseparable from this race :— Gazella mhorr reducta, Heller, Sitzber. Ges. Isis, 1906, p. 15, 1907. Gazella dama reducta, Lydekker, Game Animals of Africa, p. 271, 1908. Founded on a menagerie specimen, without definite locality, and stated to be intermediate between dama dama and d. mhorr, but nearer to the latter, from which it differs by the smaller horns, the brighter rufous and smaller extent of the coloured area, and the nearly white head, which is fawn only at the back and blackish at the base of the horns.

Distinguished from Gazella by the presence of a large evertible dorsal gland, lined with long white erectile hairs, extending from middle of back to rump, the absence of inguinal glands, and the presence of only two pairs of lower premolars; the number of upper premolars being either three or two. Neumann considers the genus, which is repre- sented by a single South African species, nearly allied to the large gazelles of the subgenus Nanger, and the horns— present in both sexes—show a striking similarity to those of Gazella soemmerringt, although shorter.

Distinguished from other members of the subfamily by the great elongation of the neck and limbs, in the latter of which the lateral hoofs are minute, the presence of four teats, and of a bare dark glandular area below each eye, as well as by the structure of the feet, in which the folded inter- ungual membrane extends only a little more than half the distance between the “heels” and the hind edges of the front of the hoofs. Inguinal glands wanting; three pairs of lower premolars; skull long and low, the elongation being particularly noticeable in the portion behind the horns, of which the bones are extremely hard and solid; auditory bulle low and opaque; lachrymal depressions shallow ; pre- maxille not reaching nasals; lower jaw slight and slender. Horns, which are present only in males, of a sublyrate gazelle-like type, with their points curved forwards, or forwards and upwards.

Stated to be larger than any of the other “Sudan” races (shoulder-height 5 feet 3 inches, according to Alexander), but in colour approximating to the western H. e. gambianus, although in the shape of the horns intermediate between the two. General colour ochery buff, paler on flanks, and suffused with white on neck and shoulders, thus producing a greyish tinge; hairs of mane buffish at base, then brown, and black at tips; dorsal pale brown stripe continued on to tail as a black line; tail-tip black ; thighs and limbs ochery, passing into clay-colour above hoofs; black lines round lateral hoofs; a seal-brown band on front of fore-legs extending at least as low as knees; under-parts buffish white; ears very long, ochery on backs, with black terminal tufts; face- markings variable. Nasal bones long and broad; horns long and divergent, with the tips, which may be either inverted or everted, very long, and therefore different from those of bakert; those of gambianus being distinguished by their smaller size. Basal length of skull 162 inches (425 mm.). No specimen in collection. E.—Hippotragus equinus gambianus. fEgoceros koba, Gray, Cat. Ruminants Brit. Mus. p. 35, 1872, Hand-List Ruminants Brit.

Following the precedent of Sclater and Thomas in the cases of Gazella leptoceros and Oryx algazel (supra, pp. 69 and 129), the addax of the Eastern Sudan may be regarded as racially distinct from the typical addax of north- western Africa, even if its distinctive features are not fully known. It has been suggested that in the Sudan race the winter coat is shorter than in the Tunisian animal, and that there is less white in the neighbourhood of the eye. 6. 4. 23.1. Skin, immature.

Large or medium-sized antelopes with the horns, which, except in two genera, are normally restricted to the males, usually in the form of long, upwardly directed heteronymous spirals, devoid of transverse ridges, but almost always furnished with a longitudinal keel on the front aspect. Muzzle large and naked; face-glands and lachrymal depres- sions present or absent; inguinal glands sometimes present ; true foot-glands wanting, but in one genus a pair of glands in hind lateral, or false, hoofs, these hoofs being always well developed in both limbs; general foot-structure practically the same as in Bovine (vol. i); two pairs of teats; tail medium and thickly haired throughout, or longer and terminally tufted; markings, when fully developed, in the shape of a white nasal chevron, spots on cheeks, longitudinal bands and transverse stripes on body, spots on haunches, and patches on limbs; these markings being present in the TRAGELAPHINA 151 foetus. Skull generally with large or small lachrymal vacuities, and frequently a pair of deep pits in frontals. Upper molars broad and relatively short-crowned, but rather taller in the Indian genera, in which they develop an accessory inner column, and thus approximate very closely to those of the Bovine, to which group these antelopes are considered by Pocock to be closely related. The distributional area includes Ethiopian Africa and peninsular India. In Nature, vol. xci, p. 58, 1913, the writer has given reasons to show that a tragelaphine antelope probably existed in the Euphrates Valley during the Assyrian period. The genera may be diagnosed as follows :— A. Face-glands wanting; horns long and spiral; face and body very generally ornamented with white * markings, in the form of stripes, bands, and spots. a. Horns in both sexes; tail tufted; no inguinal glands. a‘, Horns comparatively smooth, forming a simple open lyrate:cUrve ceusssiuiededesnsssccevemseamsmnans ove Bodcercus. b'.

Upper molars rather narrow, without inner accessory columns. Inguinal glands present. Distribution restricted to Ethiopian Africa. In the typical species the skull is characterised by the comparative shallowness of the nasal notches, large lachrymal vacuities, short premaxille, slightly angulated maxillo-jugal sutures, and small basioccipital processes.

The typical and smallest species, the shoulder-height reaching about 30 inches in males of the larger races; sexes differing in colour, the females being generally lighter and redder than the males, with a greater development of the white markings, which, when in their full intensity, include a chevron and spots on the face, a chin-patch, a gorget on the throat and another on the chest, an upper and a lower longitudinal band on each side of the body, between which are a number of narrow vertical stripes, a series of spots on the haunches, and a variable amount of stripes and blotches on the limbs, of which a pair of spots above the main hoofs are the most constant; a short crest of hair on nape of neck and back; coat of moderate length, but apparently always short-haired on the neck of aged males, in which the under- parts are black or blackish, and thus often darker than the back; tips of horns black. Maximum horn-iength (2 specimens) 19? inches. This species, as here understood, presents such an extra- ordinary amount of variation in colouring and markings, due to differences of sex, age, and locality—and in some instances perhaps individual—that it is at present impossible to give a key to the local races entitled to recognition. Some of the races are indeed characterised by the white and others by the black dorsal crest, but as there are indications of a transition in this respect, no sufficient grounds for dividing the species into groups can be founded on this character. Much the same may be said with regard to the presence of a short-haired and perhaps glandular collar on the nape of the neck, or its absence, since all bushbucks apparently tend to acquire short-haired necks when fully adult. The lightness or darkness of the under-parts has also been taken as a racial character; but it seems that in old males of all the forms this area tends to become black or dark brown, This is but one exemplification of the tendency in the whole group towards a general darkening in colour and the obliteration of the white markings with age; a tendency which attains its maxima in regions so far apart as Gallaland and Cape Colony. In the forest-zone, on the other hand, the rufous TRAGELAPHIN A 155 coloration and fully developed white markings may persist throughout life. That an excessive number of local races of the species— especially in Abyssinia and East Africa—have received names, seems practically certain; but the material in the collection is quite insufficient to admit of a critical revision in this respect. All that it has been practicable to do is, after the elimination of types, to arrange the specimens under the heading of the race to the typical locality of which they come nearest in point of origin. The greater number of the named races have been allowed to stand provisionally, although in a few instances so-called subspecies have been included under the heading of forms to which specific rank has been accorded by some writers. The explanation—offered in vol. ii. in the case of the waterbucks—that many of the so-called subspecies have been named on the evidence of individual herds rather than on true local races will not hold good in the present instance, seeing that bushbucks go about in pairs instead of associating in herds. For the most part, the races are arranged geographically. A.—Tragelaphus scriptus scriptus. Tragelaphus scriptus typicus, Thomas, Proc. Zool.

Female light brownish TRAGELAPHINA 161 rufous, much the same as in typical scriptus, with no white markings on sides of body, but a fleck on under surface, the remainder of which is whitish yellow-grey. The female is very similar to the type of delameret (which is a young individual), but may be distinguished by the presence of a white streak on the front of the hind-legs, as well as of throat and breast patches. From sylvaticus the male differs by the slight development of white in the dorsal crest, as well as in the leg-markings. 10. 1]. 29. 2. Skin, mounted. Sahatu Mountains, Arusi Gallaland.

Typical locality “ Les M’Brous,” Tomé Valley, near the Gribingé-Ubangui Watershed, N. W. Africa. Type in Senckenberg Museum, Frankfort-am-Main. Differs from pictus by its inferior size (basal skull-length (84 inches = 206 mm.), longer coat, and deeper colour, which 166 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES is reddish brown (bistre) above, paler on the flanks, and brownish black below, with the neck and cheeks lighter and the crown darker than the back; dark band on fore-legs black on inner, but indistinct on outer side; dorsal crest with less white than in pictus, and its continuation as a dark line on neck broader; white spots on haunches fewer but rather larger. Female typically with more rufous neck, smaller black markings, and under-parts like flanks. The so-called 7. s. punctatus, founded on a female skin in the Senckenberg Museum from Duma, Ubangui Valley, is stated to differ from signatus, by its shorter coat, larger spots, and yellowish rusty brown colour above, which becomes lighter on shoulders, thighs, and legs, and orange- buff on under-parts ; neck lighter buff, slightly speckled with blackish, which disappears on crown and cheeks; no dark patch on withers ; a white spot below each eye; dark line on middle of face narrow, not interrupted on forehead.

Tragelaphus cottoni dodinge, Matschie, op. cit. p. 556, 1912. Typical locality Farajala, westward of Lado, on the Koda, a tributary of the Bahr-el-Jebel. The typical locality of meridionalis is about 40 miles north of Wadelai, Uganda; and that of dodinge the Kedef Valley, on the western flank of the Dodinga Range, east-north-east of Dufilé, and therefore to the east of the White Nile, whereas the other two forms are from the west of the same. Types in collection of Major Powell-Cotton at Quex. Typically a small short-haired race, with a short-haired neck-collar, and a black dorsal crest mingled with white hairs; general colour brownish ochre, with a greyish ° suffusion ; a white longitudinal band broken up into spots, and, it is stated, nine white transverse stripes,* numerous white spots on haunches, and a white mark on neck; under- parts black, grey in female. The more southern specimens described as meridionalis are stated to be rather larger, with certain slight differences in general colour, and having only three distinct white trans- verse stripes and a fourth represented by spots, eight to ten spots on haunches, two spots on the shoulder near the end of the longitudinal band, and the tail-tip mingled black aud brown instead of wholly black.

The typical locality of d. simplex is the Ituri Valley, near Kifuku and Irumu; and that of d. sassw Kasindi, north of the Albert Edward Nyanza, where simples is also stated to occur, Type in the collection of Major Powell-Cotton at Quex. Typically a large, short-haired, and long-tailed race, in which the total length of the skin is fully 63 inches (160 cm.), and that of the tail 113 to 13 inches (29-33 cm.). Neck with a short-haired collar; dorsal crest blackish brown with a few white hairs, but in immature males largely mingled in its hind portion with white and ochery brown hairs; general colour orange-ochre, with a rufous tinge in females and young males; middle line of under-parts black, but orange-ochre in females; markings variable, being in some cases indicated only by a few transverse lines of longer hairs, but in others by from four to nine transverse stripes, of which some show white spots, and a longitudinal line of flecks, with a few spots on upper part of thigh. The so- called d. simplex is stated to differ by its smaller size and paler colouring, the general tint being more ochery and less inclined to rufous; d. sasse@ is intermediate in size between the two others, very similar in colour to the first, but greyer, with a distinct longitudinal line of white flecks, which tend to unite posteriorly into a band, four or five more or less distinct transverse white stripes, five large spots on haunches, and the posterior half of the dorsal crest nearly white.

Neck with a short-haired collar; dorsal crest (non-existent in type) white; general colour dark yellowish brown, passing into yellowish fawn on shoulders and lower half of hind- quarters, and becoming paler on under-parts ; no white body- markings; head ruddy brown on forehead, with a blackish band along muzzle, but no white stripe running inwards from corner of eyes; white throat and chest bands small, the former nearly obsolete; outer and inner sides of fore-legs yellowish brown, with the front of the shanks to a little * Tn original description the locality was given as Somaliland. 172 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES above knees blackish, and the pasterns black except for a pair of small white spots above hoofs; hind-legs (in type) similarly coloured, but paler above, with a white patch in front of hocks. T. tjederi, of which the typical locality is Nakuru, B. E. Africa, only a comparatively short distance west of Kenia (from which it is separated by the Aberdare Range), was described as differing from delameret by the under-parts being darker than the back, by the larger throat and chest bands, and by the presence of a white stripe on front of hind- shanks and of a white dorsal crest. Most or all of these points of difference are due to differences of sex or age. The type is in the U.S. National Museum, Washington. 0. 3. 27. 23. Skull and skin, immature female.

Smaller and lighter-coloured than delamerei; general colour greyish olive, without any rufous suffusion; hair of neck short throughout; dorsal crest white; sides and hind- quarters with white spots; legs seal-brown (except where white); auditory bulle of skull large. Female cinnamon- coloured, with from six to eight white transverse stripes, a longitudinal row of white spots, and a few white spots on the haunches; crown of head and nose olive-brown, with- out a white chevron in front of eyes, which is, however, present in females. The short-haired neck would appear to be merely a character of full maturity. The range is stated to extend along “the edge of the Taru Desert and the moist coast-strip from Kilimanjaro northward at least as far as the Tana River. It is a lighter-coloured race than either masaicus or delamerei, and is readily distinguished by its lack of any rufous coloration in the male ” (Heller).

Nape of neck and withers with a scanty but longish mane, continued posteriorly as a dorsal crest; hair on sides of neck and throat shorter than elsewhere (as in Tragelaphus scriptus). Female smaller without mane, and with white markings on head and throat less pronounced, the head more uniformly fawn, and the body rich rufous fawn, faintly tinged with grey. Basal length of skull 11? inches, maximum width 44, length from muzzle to orbit 62 inches. Fine horns measure from 30 to 354 inches in length along the curve, with a basal girth of from 53 to 74, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 94 to 152 inches. The skull is characterised by the broad and rectangular lachrymal vacuities, elongated premaxille, long nasal processes of lachrymal, the length of the maxillary border of the jugal, which has a broad rectangular notch below the orbit, the small supraorbital pits, the small masseter knob on the sides of the maxille; elongated anterior palatine foramina; and the slight boss in the profile at root of nasals. Heller remarks that as regards coloration and skull- characters this species is as nearly related to the bushbuck as it is to the kudu, for which reason he refers it to a separate genus. In the opinion of the writer, it would be preferable to include both this and the next species in Zragelaphus. The range extends from Somaliland and Abyssinia to B. E. Africa.

Very large, heavily built antelopes resembling Bodcercus in the tufted tail and the presence of horns in both sexes, but distinguished by the horns being strongly keeled, and forming a closely twisted screw-like spiral, on which the front keel makes one complete turn, the tips being black ; as well as by the presence of a more or less strongly developed bushy frontal tuft, and of a heavy dewlap, fringed with long hair. In females the horns are longer, thinner, and less strongly keeled, while the dewlap is wanting and the frontal tuft less developed. The range includes the greater part of Ethiopian Africa, exclusive of the equatorial forest. In the Pliocene the group was represented in India by the so-called 7. latidens, 208 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES which may belong to an extinct genus;* but the reference to it of teeth from the superficial deposits of North America f is almost certainly incorrect.

Height reaching to about 5 feet 7 inches, or perhaps 6 feet at withers. Ears pointed and relatively narrow, with, at most, a small black patch on outer border of backs; general colour greyish or pale rufous tawny, usually with a dark dorsal stripe, and with or without a variable number of narrow vertical white stripes; neck coloured more or less nearly like back; frontal tuft well developed, in some cases with orange borders, in others wholly dark; a suborbital white streak present or absent; tuft on dewlap and tail-tuft. black ; fore-legs with or without a dark garter on hind surface above knees; back of pasterns dirty white or black. Horns of moderate size; fine specimens measuring from TRAGELAPHIN& 211 30 to 37 inches in length in a straight line, with a basal girth of from 11 to 16, and a tip-to-tip interval ranging from 7x to 27 inches. Female horns may be abnormally long, with but slight development of the spiral twist. The range extends from Cape Colony to the Kenia district of British East Africa on the east, and to Angola on the west; the typical southern form being apparently almost extinct.

Zool. Soc. 1910, p. 921. Differs from all the preceding genera of the subfamily by the presence of a pair of large preorbital face-glands, opening by longitudinal slits, and of a pouch-like gland in each hind lateral hoof; inguinal glands wanting. The genus is also distinguished from all other existing hollow-horned ruminants by the presence, typically, of two pairs of horns in males, of which the first pair are much smaller than the second, both being short and unkeeled; females hornless; tail relatively short, not tufted. Skull with large lachrymal pits; upper molars with short, quadrangular crowns, without a distinct additional column on inner side; sexes alike in colour; tragelaphine markings mostly absent. Placed by Gray between the reedbucks and the klipspringer-steinbok group, the genus has been generally associated by subsequent writers with the duikers. In 1877 Ratimeyer had, however, placed it next the nilgai, although separating the latter from the Tragelaphine, and classing both genera with the Cephalophine. The atfinity between Tetraceros and Boselaphus is confirmed by Pocock, who includes both in the Tragelaphine. The range is restricted to the plains of Peninsular India. TETRACERUS QUADRICORNIS.

CHousincHA; Four-Hornep ANTELOPE. Typical locality the plains of Peninsular India, to which area the species is restricted. Size small and build delicate; shoulder-height about 25 inches. General colour dull rufous brown, passing, with- out a sharp line of demarcation, into whitish on under-parts ; muzzle, backs of ears and a line down front of limbs blackish brown; fronts and sides of pasterns whitish, and occasionally a pair of whitish spots on each cheek. Basal length of skull 64 inches, maximum width 21, interval between muzzle and orbit 3£ inches. Fine specimens of the posterior pair of horns measure from 3% to 43 inches in length, and there is one example stated to measure 5 inches. In three examples with posterior horns of 44 inches, the respective measure- ments of the front horns are 24, 24, and 23 inches. 37. 6. 10. 68 (628, a). Frontlet and horns. Guna. Presented by Col. J.

Typical locality plains of Peninsular India; to which area the species is restricted, the range not including the trans-Indus districts, Eastern Bengal, or Malabar. Shoulder-height about 4 feet 6 inches. General colour iron-grey, tending to black on nose, cheeks, and neck, and to whitish grey above eyes; generally two spots on each cheek, lips, chin, and under surface of lower jaw, a gorget on throat, inner sides and backs of hams, a patch in region of groin, sides and under surface of tail, and two pairs of spots on pasterns above hoofs white, the upper hind spots sometimes forming a half-ring ; ears greyish white, with a pair of black spots on outer edge in front; under-parts, with the exception of the region of the groin and a narrow median streak, and greater part of limbs, together with a tuft of long hair on throat, black ; neck with a short black and white mane, terminating in a whorl on withers, behind which it is continued as a black spinal crest, gradually decreasing in height towards tail. Female smaller and slighter, with the iron-grey and black areas of male replaced by tawny fawn. Fine horns measure from 8 to 10 (in one instance) inches in length, with a basal girth of from 64 to 93, and a tip-to-tip interval ranging from 34 to 8 inches. 648,a. Skin, mounted. India.

Closely allied to the Bovide, but the horns, which are of the same general type as those of that family, forked and annually deciduous. Lyon,* following Cope, considers that there is no sufficient reason for separating the one existing genus by which this family is represented from the Bovide. “Its true position,” he remarks, “is clearly no more than an aberrant subfamily, Antilocaprine of the Bovide,.. . the essential characters of the subfamily being horns deciduous, with a characteristic branch or prong in front, and absence of annual rings of growth at base of horn.” On the other hand, Matthew,} after first provisionally referring it to a separate family—Merycodontidw—apparently considers that the American Tertiary genus Merycodus, which has antlers instead of horns, should be included in the Antilocapride. Certain other North American Tertiary (Pleistocene) ruminants, described as Jlingoceros and Spheno- phalos, and at first regarded as referable to the 7ragelaphine, have been tentatively transferred to the present family,t the definition of which will have to be materially modified if any or all of the above are rightly included. The distribution is restricted to North America. * Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. vol. xxxiv, p. 398, 1900. +t Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. vol. xx, p. 102, 1904, and vol. xxiv, p. 561, 1908. t Merriam, Pub.

Soc. 1907.* meshes of which gradually decrease in size towards the head, although they are everywhere large ; on the head the red areas change to rounded chestnut spots on a fawn ground ; backs of ears white, as are shanks (in adult males), the hind pair more or less spotted superiorly, especially in females. Anterior horn well developed (fig. 39). The essential feature of the colour-pattern is, so to speak, the superposition of a coarse white network on a liver-red ground, so that it cannot be described as spotted. * There named G. camelopardalis. 2358 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES As this type of colouring is but an extreme development of that of the typical race of camelopardalis, there are grounds for regarding reticulata as a race of the former rather than as a distinct species. On the other hand, there appears to be no evidence of gradation between reticulata and camelopardalis in those parts of British East Africa where they occupy contiguous areas. The so-called G. hagenbecki was named on the evidence of an immature female from Gallaland, living in Hagenbeck’s menagerie at Stellingen. The general colour is described as lustreless brown; the dark areas becoming: smaller on the thighs and legs, and the shanks being spotted on the sides and backs. As remarked by Rothschild and Neuville, these features are certainly not of specific, even if they be of racial value. Two races have been named, and are distinguished as follows :— 4.

Nearly allied to the last, but the spots on the upper part of the fore-limbs—just above the line of the abdomen—and also those on the corresponding portion of the thighs, broken up into a number of very small and irregular ones, which contrast strongly with the larger ones above; similar spots also occurring on the under-parts and inner sides of the limbs, which are nearly white in the typical race. In both forms the colour-pattern of the females differs only in details from that of the males. The specimen figured by Jardine, which is stated to have come from the district between Sennar and Dafur (i.e. practically Kordofan), may be taken as the type, since Cretzschmar’s description, on which Swainson’s name is based, is insufficient. That the colour-pattern in Jardine’s GIRAFFID i 245 specimen was not an individual peculiarity, is indicated by its reappearance in the Kordofan example shown in fig. 42, which was living in London between 1902 and 1904.* Fic. 42.—Korporan GiraFFe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorwm). 13. 6. 1. 1.

Typical locality Guasin-gisha Plateau, to the south-east of Mount Elgon and west of Lake Baringo, B. E. Africa, nearly 1° north of the equator ; the two areas being separated by the Elgeyo Range. Colour (in male) very dark, the spots being nearly black, and showing a tendency to split up into stars, as indicate by lighter tripartite radiating lines in the larger ones; light interspaces (ground-colour), except on face, deep yellowish fawn, forming a network of narrow lines on body, but becoming much broader on neck, where the spots may assume a more irregular and somewhat jagged outline; sides of face, extending posteriorly in a triangular area behind ears (the backs of which are wholly white), whitish—and thus sharply contrasting with the neck—and fully spotted with black in subadult males, although in old males (fig. 40, A, p. 239) these more or less completely disappear above a line connecting the angle of the mouth with the eye; a spot on legs above knees and hocks chestnut, such light spots extending farther up on the hind than on the front legs; shanks white and unspotted. Skull with front horn strongly developed, and a pair of occipital horns behind the ynain pair; and there may be a pair of orbital horns.* In subadult females (if rightly associated) the spots are reddish chestnut, and irregular, jagged, and somewhat star- * Tn a specimen seen by the writer in 1914.

Typical locality Petauke district, N. E. Rhodesia. Characterised by the low and conical anterior horn, the grey colour and scattered spotting of the sides of the face, the chestnut-brown forehead, deepening into black on the tips of the horns, the absence of a distinctly stellate pattern in the neck and body spots, which are light brown on a yellowish fawn ground, and the uniformly tawny colour of the shanks. It differs from tippelskirchi by the more compact frontal horn, the brown, in place of grey, forehead, and the uniformly fawn shanks, the latter being often whitish in old males of tippe/shirchi, but fawn and spotted in females and young males.* This race and tippelskirchi agree (and * Vide M. de Rothschild and H.
