THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED 
TO THE 


SPORTSMEN OF THE WORLD, 


WITHOUT WHOSE DETERMINED PLUCK AND LOVE OF TRAVEL IT COULD 
NOT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED, NOR COULD I HAVE SPENT 
A LIFE-TIME IN THE ART WHICH I HAVE 


TRIED TO ADVANCE, 


ROWLAND WARD. 


Ea heal a aa i ap 


Y object in producing this book is to start a record 

of Horn Measurements of the Great Game of the 
Rvord. ‘1 only reoret that I did mot commence itvat, am 
earlier date, as it would then have been more complete. 
But im my earlier life I had but littleshelp, and often 
worked thirty hours at a stretch; my work necessitated 
attention to specimens that demanded immediate treat- 
ment, and my love for reproducing life-like studies prevented 


me from keeping records. 


The measurements presented here have been taken re- 
cently by one hand and, for that reason, I value them the 
more. The dimensions from acknowledged authorities 
I am not responsible for. This book is not designed to 
be in any way a scientific work, but it is prepared for 
gentlemen sportsmen and scientific men who are interested 
to see comparable measurements at a glance. I think these 
have not been produced in like form before. Of course, 
fos cecora can be added to, and I shall feel indebted to 


sportsmen who will contribute measurements, for I am not 


vill PREACH. 


producing this work in a completed form—it must grow. 
It is to be borne in mind that many trophies which have 
passed through my hands are now scattered all over the 
world, and the dimensions of them, for the time, are not 
recorded here. Some that I give now are fine measure- 
ments, some are only ordinary statistics, many are of new 
species altogether; these last being mainly a result of the 
quite recent opening up of Africa. The advice noted as 
to the way to measure must be dealt with strictly, for 
many persons measuring by different methods produce 
untrustworthy record. We have tried to be fair in pro- 
ducing the statistics, taking them rather under than over the 
mark; and the tape has not been pressed into corrugations, 


but carried outside, over all inequalities. 


Many gentlemen’s trophies I should lke to have mea- 
sured, but those specimens have either changed hands or 
are now in some remote part of the world, and the book 
cannot be delayed longer; but distance has not prevented 


me from obtaining many important statistics.

SWINHOE’S DEER. II 


SWINHOE’S DEER (Cervus swinhoii). 


[Mr. SWINHOE on “Chinese Mammals,” P.Z.S. 1870, p. 646.] 


[“ Cervus (Rusa) Swinhoii,” SCLATER. P.Z.S. 1862, p. 152; SWINHOE, P.Z.S. 
1862, p. 364. | 


In the central ranges of Formosa, near Mount Morrison, this brown 
deer is very common; and on a visit I paid to the wild tribes of 


these parts in February 1866, I found them hunting the deer with 
dogs. 


A place is cleared in the forest, where a party of men hide 
armed with matchlocks; the dogs yelp after the deer and drive 
them into the open, where the hidden sportsmen get easy shots at 
them. The son of the chief with whom I was staying had just 
returned from a successful battue with the robust antlers and flesh 
of a large buck. I induced him to return for the head, which he 


had thrown away on the field. I was thus enabled to secure a fine 
skull for the British Museum. 


The young of this species, about half-grown, is reddish brown, 
with the tail bushy and black, but reddish at its root ; sides of the 
body paler, and the belly blackish brown; legs pale towards the 
hoofs, the latter black; under surface of tail, abdomen, and inner 
sides of hind legs down to middle of shank yellowish white, the 
breast and belly being blackish brown; under surface of head and 
neck mottled whitey brown; crown of the head, with many of the 
hairs, tipped with black; from the occiput a dark line runs down 
to the base of the tail; ears blackish brown, tipped and margined 
with ochreous white, and whitish on their insides. 


The adult, in summer, has its coarse hair deep brown, faintly 
mottled, rufous on the rump; between the fore legs and the thighs 


ochreous white; tail bushy and dark. In winter it becomes a 
deeper brown. 


12 GREAT ‘GAME OF Thi WORLD: 


The Society’s Gardens have had two or three examples of this 
animal alive; and Dr. Sclater is doing it justice in his paper for 
the ‘‘ Transactions.” Fig. 5 represents the antlers of a mature 
individual which I procured in South Formosa. 


I have nct heard of any species of Rusa occurring on the main 
of China; but in Hainan the C. hippelaphus appears to abound. 
From North China we have the Cervus xanthopygus (A. M. 
Edwards), the Elaphurus davidianus (A. M. Edwards), and tke 
Capreolus pyaargus (Pall).

THE PHILIPPINE DEER (Cervus philippinus’. 


[Sir VicTOR BROOKE, Bart., P.Z.S. 1877, p. 51.] 


ADULT MALe.—Hair of moderate length and rather harsh. General 
colour, rich ruddy brown, darkest on the back and lightest on the 
neck. Forehead and cheeks rufous fawn-colour; dark (almost black) 
streaks commence over each eye, and, blending together, form a 
band running down the centre of the face, which is separated from 
the dark moustache-like mark bordering the muzzle by a narrow 
track of pale fawn-colour. Breast and kelly uniform brown. Tarsal 
gland plainly marked by a rufous spot. Ears of moderate size, 
covered externally by short close-set hair. Horns remarkably rough 
and massive; a powerful, long brow-antler, and one short tine 
directed inwards. Height at shoulder, about 27 inches. 


PH PHILIPPINE, DEER. 


T3 


The skull of this species is an exact miniature of that of 
Cervus aristotelis. 


FEMALE.—In external colouration differs in no way from the 


male. 


Younc.—Of a uniform brown, without spots. 


Hapitat.—Island of Luzon, Philippines. 


The Philippine deer is a very stout-built, short-limbed, powerful 
animal, in carriage and general appearance closely resembling the 
common Sambur (Cervus aristotelis).

KUHL’S STAG (Cervus kuhli). 


[Sir VICTOR BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1878, p. 902. ] 


[1839-44. Cervus kuhlii, Mull. “Verh. Nat. Gesch. Ned. Bez. Zoo.,” p. 223, 
pls. 44, 45, figs. 12-14. 


Halbitat—Bavian Islands. Type—Mus. Leyden. 


THIS species was originally described by Muller from specimens 
collected by Diard in the Bavian Islands, to which locality the 
species, as far as is at present known, is confined. The auditory 
bulla in Cervus kuhli are largely inflated. By this character the 
skull may be distinguished from that of any of the Rusine deer, 
with the exception of C. porcinus. The skull of C. kuhli differs 
from that of C. porcinus in having the facial portion anterior to 
the orbits much more compressed, and the orbits much more 
prominent. C. kuhli has proportionally much longer limbs than 
C. porcinus; and all the hairs of the back and sides are annulated 


16 GREAT GAME’ OF LAE WoRkLy. 


in the former and not in the latter species. The young of C. kuhli 
are unspotted, which is not the case with those of C. porcinus. 
Both species are devoid of upper canines.

PERUVIAN ROE DEER (Cariacus (furcifer) antisiensis). 
[Pie i. (GRAV, FORS., 22.5; 1869, Prdge.d 


THE horns divide from the base into two branches; the front one 
is erect, conical, and acute, with a short conical branch on the outer 
side, and in the middle one or two more or less elongate, basal 
anterior or interior snags. The hinder part of the base and sheath 
compressed, diverging horizontally into a strong, angular, tapering 
branch, which is nearly as long as the erect one, with several 
irregularly placed, more or less elongate, acute processes; the upper 
part, near the roots, with one or two cylindrical diverging branches 
on its upper and lower sides. Like the small branches on the erect 
part of the horn, they are not exactly similar on the two horns. 
The metatarsus is without any glandular tuft on the outside. 
On the inner side of the hock is a large rounded tuft of such hairs. 
The fur consists of thick, elastic, tubular quills. The skull has a well- 
marked, deep, triangular pit in the front of the orbit. The female 
is without horns. This animal may be called Xenelaphus huamel.

JACKSON’S HARTEBEESTE (Bubalis jacksoni). 


Habitat—Central Africa: Country between Lake Victoria Nyanza 
and Lake Naivashee. 


THIS is a new species of Hartebeeste recently shot by Mr. F. J. 
Jackson in British East African Territory, who in his letter to me, dated 
October 1890, says: ‘‘I do not think it is likely to extend further 
south, but of course it may extend to the Cape for what we know; if 
it is A. caama it may do so, but I am inclined to doubt its being the 
same as the S. African animal. I seem to have an idea that the one 
at the British Museum is very much darker, and the horns different, 
but this is only from memory, and I cannot be sure. Up north all 
along the top of the Elgeyo Escarpment (continuation of Mau) into 
Turquel, to the north and north-east of Mount Elgon, it is common, 
and takes the place of A. cokei. Round Baringo it is fairly plentiful, 
but some marches south of Njemis the A. cokei takes its place.”

Height at shoulder, 20 in.; length of ears, 43 in.; length of horns, 
3 in. A narrow mark about one inch in length on each side of the 
naked muzzle; aline passing round the eye and suborbital pit, but not 
meeting in front of the gland, lower lip, chin, spot on throat, belly, 
inside of limbs nearly as far down as the carpal and tarsal joints, and 
rump white. Nose and ears externally dusky brown; forehead and 
occiput rufous; temporal gland large, round, and covered with very 
short bluish-black hair, that covering the region between the subor- 
bital pit and the eye being of similar character and colour; neck, 
back, flanks, and sides of a peculiar grizzly fawn colour. This pecu- 
liarity is obtained by the base of each hair being almost white, the 
tip rufous, the intervening part of a deep bluish grey.

rufous. ‘‘It does not possess the lunate mark on the rump of the 
Waterbuck, and does not stand so high, but is rather more stoutly 
built.”” (Note by Capt. Speke on above.)

104 GREAT “GAME OF THE WORED: 


GRANT’S GAZELLE (Gazella granti). 
[Sir VicrOR BROOKE, Bart., P:Z.S. 1378, p. 723] 


GENERAL colour, very rich fawn tinged with purple, the neck and back 
in certain lights mottled like watered silk; this pattern is gained 
by indefinitely bounded bands of darker hair. Central facial band 
darker than the neck and body and strongly tinged with rufous on 
the forehead; a large black patch above the nostrils; large facial 
streaks very definite, white; dark facial streak black, extending 
from the base of the horn to the eye, which it almost encircles, 
and from the eye to above the corners of the mouth; _ posterior to 
the eye is a small white patch; external surface of the ear-conchs 
streaked with dark brown; dark lateral and pygal bands distinctly 
marked, the former grizzled, the latter very broad and jet-black; 
lower two thirds of the tail black, the upper third white; the 
tip of the tail is tufted; for the remainder of its length, it is fur- 
nished with coarse hairs which project at right angles to its axis; 
chin, lower surface of the head, breast, belly, inside of limbs, and 


GRAN ES* GAZELLE. 105 


rump white; the white of the rump extending forwards in an angle 
into the darker colour of the body; knee-brushes of moderate 
length, grizzled; horns of great length in both sexes, much com- 
pressed from side to side, marked by strong annulations which 
completely surround the horn for the proximal half of its length, 
but become obsolete on the posterior surface of its distal or upper 
half. The horns diverge at first gradually, then more boldly, their 
tips converging and giving to the set of the horns a remarkably 
perfect lyrate form. 


Comparison with allied Species. 


Gazella granti belongs, as pointed out in my former description, 
to the group of long-limbed large Gazelles which are distinguished 
by the white of the rump projecting in an angle into the fawn- 
colour of the back and. sides (Gide P:Z:S. 1873, p. 537, B.). The 
allied species are G. scemmerringi, mohr, and dama. From all 
these it differs in the very much greater size, and in the form of 
the horns. It is also peculiar in the presence of the dark lateral 
band, which is wanting in the three above-named species, and in 
the remarkably definite black pygal band, which is only shown in 
very young specimens of G. scemmerringi, is absent entirely in 
G. dama, and only indefinitely shown in G. mohr. In the watered- 
silk mottling of the neck and back Gazella granti differs from all 
other known Gazelles.

Tuis is common round Berbera, but is replaced by Gazella spekei. 
when the Somali plateau is reached. 


It has often been mistaken for 


Gazella spekei, but can readily be distinguished from that species by 
its straighter horns and the absence of the loose skin on the nose.

SPRINGBUCK (Gazella euchore). 
[Sir VicTOR BROOKE, Bart., P.Z.S. 1873, p. 550.] 


Hair rather long but smooth; the central facial band has the upper 
part distinctly marked, but ends in a point between the eyes, rufous ; 
the light facial streaks meet below the eyes, white; dark facial streak 
thin from above, downwards, but very definite, deep rufous; cheeks, 
line in front of the neck, breast, belly, inside of limbs, dorsal mane, 
starting from the anterior lumbar region, and tail (with the exception 
of the long black terminal hairs) white; dark lateral and pygal bands 
deep rufous, the former very broad and well defined ; light lateral band 
very faintly shown, being of a less rufous tint than the fawn-colour of 
the shoulders, upper parts of the back, and haunches; ears long; 
horns in both sexes, but very small in the female; in the male they 
are truly lyrate, strongly annulated, and massive, of moderate length ; 
knee-brushes absent ; height at shoulder about 30 in. 

Skull: nasal bones rather elongated and pointed; dentition, i. 2, 
c. 9, p. 3, m.3; the first premolar in the upper jaw is almost rudi- 
mentary, its opposing tooth in the lower jaw is wanting; in the milk- 
dentition, however, the first of the three lower molars is represented 
by an exceedingly small cylindrical tooth.

ATLAS GAZELLE (Gazella cuvieri). 
[Sir Victor BROOKE, Bart., P.Z.S. 1873, p. 542.] 


Hair long and rather coarse; central facial band grizzled rufous 
brown above, darker below, sometimes forming a distinct nose-spot ; 
light facial streak present, but indefinite; dark facial streak blackish 
brown, running into and blending with the grizzled rufous brown of 
the upper parts of the body; knee-brushes long, blackish ; tail black ; 
horns strongly annulated, massive and long, diverging gradually from 
about two-thirds their length, the upper third leaning more decidedly 
outwards and a little forward; hars very long. 

Adult male: height, 27} in.; length of horns, 12 in.; length of 
ears, 7} in. 

The above description must be taken as applying to an average 
specimen, very great variety being exhibited by this large and well- 
marked species; in fact, out of a large series, including living speci- 
mens, I have never seen two for which the same description would 
suffice. The species, however, is easily known from all the other small 
gazelles by its larger size, rough coat, dark colour, and unusually long 
ears. As I have said above, I think the larger gazelle seen by 
Tristram in Algeria was probably of this species. A skull in my 
possession is very nearly as large as that of Gazella semmerringii.

128 GREAT GAME OF THE WORED. 


Shot in Somali Land by T. W. H. Clarke, 1891. 


CLARKE’S GAZELLE (Ammodorcas clarkei). 


[OLDFIELD THOMAS, P.Z.S. 1891, p. 206.] 


Turis most remarkable animal combines the horns of a Reed-buck 
(Cervicapra), with the essential characters of a Gazelle, showing a 


When I received Mr. Clarke’s specimens and examined this particular Gazelle, it was at 
once apparent to me that it was a new variety—a fact that I had the pleasure to convey to 
Mr. Clarke.—R. W. 


CEARKE Ss GAZELLE. 129 


special relationship to that most aberrant Gazelle the Gerenook 
(Lithocranius walleri), and appears certainly to be worthy of generic 
distinction. On the first arrival of the specimens, before the skulls 
were cleaned, and before Mr. Sclater had received from Mr. Swayne the 
face-skins mentioned below, the animal was naturally supposed to be 
a Reed-buck from the character of its horns, little likely as it appeared 
that a Reed-buck would occur in the dry sandy plateau of Somali 
Land. Now, however, that better material is available, I am 
able to draw up a fairly complete account of the more essential 
characters of this most beautiful Gazelle, of the discovery of which 
Mr. Clarke, both as a sportsman and naturalist, has so much reason 
to be proud. 

Muzzle, character of face-marking, and presence of anteorbital 
glands as in Gazella; general form (as described by Mr. Clarke, see 
below) and skull more as in Lithocranius; horns in curve and general 
appearance as in Cervicapra. 

Coloration of face, using Sir Victor Brooke’s phraseology, as 
follows :—Central facial band deep rich chestnut-rufous, becoming 
duller towards the bases of the horns; light facial streaks pure white, 
very prominent and sharply defined, extending the whole length of the 
head from the bases of the ears to the corners of the nostrils, some- 
what duller and more indistinct at their extremities, but broadening 
in the middle to encircle the eyes; dark facial streak present, but not 
strongly marked; cheeks and sides of neck pale fawn; throat white ; 
crown between and behind horns brown or grizzled fawn, the latter 
condition occurring in the older of Mr. Swayne’s two head-skins; a 
marked whorl of hairs situated between the ears; back of ears short- 
haired, dark fawn basally, gradually darkening to black terminally; 
insides white-haired, but with black tips. 

Horns evenly curved upwards and forwards, the basal halves 
running backwards and the terminal halves nearly vertically upwards, 
the main curvature being therefore exactly in the opposite direction 
to that found in Gazella and Lithocranius. The horns themselves 
slender, their smooth unridged portion very long, the first indistinct 
ridge occurring about five inches from the tip. Ridges widely separate, 
strongly defined anteriorly, but becoming abruptly obsolete about half- 


way round, the sides and back showing scarcely a trace of them ; 
I 


130 GREAT” GAME -OF, THE WWOreD. 


their number amounting to Io in the oldest specimen available—a 
number probably but seldom much exceeded. 

Skull diverging from that of Gazella and approaching that of 
Lithocranius by being unusually low, long in the occipital region 
with a comparatively straight cranio-facial angle with very small 
bullz with the postero-internal wall of the suborbital fossee imperfect, 
and with a remarkably small and slender lower jaw. On the other 
hand, it differs from the same skull by being peculiar to a less extent 
in all these points by the greater development of the premaxille 
posteriorly, where they have a broad articulation with the nasals, by 
the larger nasals and smaller interparietal, and by the larger and more 
powerful teeth, which are absolutely larger in the smaller animal. 

In its skull characters, therefore, Ammodorcas stands just inter- 
mediate between Gazella and Lithocranius; in its muzzle and in the 
characters of its markings it agrees fairly with both, but in general 
form with the latter only, that animal, like it, being peculiar for its 
extraordinarily long neck, and finally, in the curvature of its horns it 
differs absolutely from both, as also from any of the other Gazelline 
genera, while it agrees with a group so different from it in all essential 
respects that the resemblance must evidently be an accidental one 
and not indicative of any relationship. Presumably the whole of 
the horn of this species is homologous with the terminal three or 
four inches of the Gerenook’s horns, that is to say, with the 
upwardly curved part—the greater part of the horn having become 
obsolete while the upwardly curved tips have attained to a remark- 
able proportionate development. 


The following are the dimensions of the skull of specimen :— 


Length, occiput to gnathion, 210 millim., tip of nasals to occiput 
176, greatest breadth 95; height, crown to angle of lower jaw, 94; 
nasals, length 67, breadth 26; interparietal, length 24, breadth 39; 
height of orbital opening 35, gnathion to front of anterior premolar 
63; length of molar series 53; lower jaw, condyle to front of 
symphysis 153; height from coronoid process to angle 70; height of 
ramus at centre of m. 15°4, at posterior end of symphysis 9. 

In a letter addressed by Mr. Clarke to Mr. Rowland Ward, the 
following notes on the appearance and habits of this species are 


OCEARICE’S GAZELLE. 131 


given :—‘‘ The Somali name for these antelopes is ‘Debo Tag.’ I shot 
them in the new country I went into, and did not see them in any 
other part. They have a very thin long tail, and when they run, 
throw it up and over towards the neck. The neck is very long and 
thrown back towards the tail, so that the two look as if they would 
touch each other.” 

Shortly after the arrival of Mr. Clarke’s specimens, Mr. Sclater 
received from Mr. Swayne two scalps of this species which he had 
bought in Berbera, and these scalps Mr. Sclater has most kindly 
handed over to me for the purposes of the present paper.  For- 
tunately, the muzzle of one of them has been preserved, so that I 
have been able to make out its strictly Gazelline character, and the 
description of the colours above given has also been taken from these 
specimens. 

It is much to be hoped that more specimens of this beautiful 
Gazelle will soon be obtained, and that we may thereby gain a full 
knowledge of its range, habits, and natural affinities. 


P.S. (May r4th).—Mr. Clarke has favoured me with the following 
notes on this new Gazelle :— 


““T saw this Gazelle for the first time on December 17th, 1899, 
about three hours from Bairwell, or about one day from Buroa Well, 
Habergerhagi’s country, and afterwards on the road all the way into 
the Marchan district, 8° N. 47° E. I killed a male, and found one of 
the horns broken off close to the skull, which had apparently been 
done a year or So ago. 

“They are very graceful animals, with a long neck and well-propor- 
tioned head arid horns; the body is rather slender, but considerably 
larger than in Gazella spekii, about the size of a female G. walleri. 
The legs are long and slender; the hoofs are not so triangular as 
those of G. spekii, and small for the size of the animal.” 

Mr. Clarke informs me that the female of Ammodorcas is without 
horns, a character which allies it still more closely with Lithocranius, 
and removes it from the typical Gazelles. The exact locality at which 
he obtained the specimens is about a day and a half from the Buroa 
Wells, Central Somali, about 100 miles south of Berbera.

BEATRIX ANTELOPE (Oryx beatrix). 
[Dre JE. GRAV, P{Z.Se57, pth | 


Tue horns slender, straight, or only very slightly curved near the 
tip; White, a spot on the middle of the face, a smaller spot between 
the base of the horns, a large patch on each cheek, extending above 
up to the eyes, and united together beneath under the throat; the 
knees and front of the fore and hind legs, and a large spot on the 
chest, dark blackish brown; the legs to the posterior grey-brown ; 
end of the tail black. 

This specimen is not half the size of the Gemsbok from the Cape, 
and is immediately known from it by the distribution of its colours. 

In form and size it resembles the true Oryx (O. leucoryx), but it 
differs in the straightness of the horn, the size and form of the cheek- 
spots, and especially in the dark colour of the legs, and the well- 
marked white ring around the fetlock joint, just above the hoof. 

The hair is whorled on the middle of the haunches like the rest 
of the genus, and the hairs of the back in front of the withers are 


directed forwards.

INYALA. 157 


INYALA (Tragelaphus angasi). 
[G. F. ANGAS, P.Z.S. 1848, p. 89.] 


Tuis brilliant Antelope, the Inyala of the Amazulu, appears to 
be a link between the Koodos and Boshbok, uniting in itself the 
markings and characteristic features of both these animals. The 
adult male is about 7 ft. 6 in. in total length, and 3 ft. 4 in. high 
at the shoulder. Though elegant in form, and much of the grace 
of the solitary Koodos, the robust and shaggy aspect of the male 
bears considerable resemblance to that of the Goat. Legs clean; 
hoofs pointed and black, with two oval cream-coloured spots in 
front of each fetlock, immediately above the hoof; horns 1 ft. ro in. 
long, twisted and sublyrate, very similar to those of the Boshbok, 
but rather more spiral; have polished extremities of a pale straw 
colour; rest of horns brownish-black, deeply ridged from the fore- 
head to about half the length of the horn; prevailing colour greyish- 
black, tinged with purplish-brown and ochre; on the neck, flanks, 
and cheeks, marked with several white stripes like the Koodos; 
forehead brilliant sienna-brown, almost approaching to orange; mane 
black down the back and white from the withers to the insertion 
of the tail; ears 8 in. long, oval, rufous, tipped with black and 
fringed inside with white hairs; a pale ochreous circle round the 
eyes, which are connected by two white spots forming an arrow- 
shaped mark on a black ground; nose black; a white spot on each 
side of the upper lip; chin and gullet white; and three white marks 
under each eye; neck covered with long shaggy hair, extending also 
under the belly and fringing the haunches to the knees; two white 
spots on the flanks, and a patch of long white hair on the anterior 
portion of the thigh; a white tuft under the belly and another on 
the dewlap; on the outer side of the fore-legs is a black patch 
above the knee surrounded by three white spots; legs below the 
knee bright rufous colour; tail 1 ft. 8 in. long, black above, with 
tip and inside white. 

Female smaller and without horns. 

The young resembles the female, but is rather paler in colour, 
and has more white spots on the flanks and sides. 

Inhabits the lower undulating hills, scattered with Mimosa bushes, 
that border upon the northern shores of St. Lucia Bay, in the Zulu 
country, lat. 28° south. Found in small troops of eight or ten 
together, feeding amongst the thickets.

ARABIAN IBEX (Capra sinaitica). 
[Rev. H. B. TRISTRAM on the Mammals of Palestine, P.Z.S., 1866, p. 85.] 


THE Syrian Ibex, or Bedeb of the Arabs. Only found in Palestine in 
the neighbourhood of the Dead Sea, especially about Engedi. Very 
abundant on the east side in the mountains of Moab, and still more 
so throughout the Sinaitic peninsula. It formerly extended to the 
Lebanon, where its teeth have been found in cave-breccia by ourselves 
and by M. Lartet. (See Bull, Sve. Geol. de France, 22, p. 543.) Quite 
as wild, nimble and wary as the Ibex of the Alps. It drops its kid in 
March or April, and has but one at a birth. Several young ones were 
brought to us and reared for some time by hand. The horns of the 
female are much smaller than those of the male. The flesh is excellent, 
far superior to that of the Gazelle. The horns are subquadrangular, 
sharply emarginated at the inner anterior angle, and with from twenty to 
twenty-four (in fully adult specimens) bold ridges on the front face only.

[Sir VICTOR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. BASIL BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 514.] 


THE horns are very large, pressed in from the sides, the edges, with 
the exception of the fronto-nuchal edge, being rounded. The orbital 
surface is pressed in, and commences to get narrower only during the 
last third of its length. The horn is more than four times the length 
of the skull. The basal and terminal axes of the horns are not parallel, 
the latter being directed more horizontally. All round the neck there 
is a pure white mane, and there is a dark line along the spiral column 
from the shoulders to the loins. The light greyish brown of the sides 
shades off into white towards the belly. A pure white anal disk 
surrounds the tail; above this disk is bordered by a rather dark line, 
but below it extends largely over the hinder parts of the thighs, 
shading gradually into the brown colour of the legs. I did not dis- 
cover any soft short hair under the long winter hair during the month 
of October. 
Height, 46 inches ; length of horns, 57 inches.

198 GREAT IGAME- OF THE WORED. 


WILD SHEEP OF THIAN SHAN (Ovis karelini). 


[Sir VICTOR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. B. BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 512.] 


THE horns are moderately thick, with rather rounded edges; frontal 
surface very prominent; orbital surface rather flat, narrowing only in 
the last third of its length. The horns are three times as long as the 
skull. The basal and terminal axes of the horn rise parallel with 
each other; the median axis is parallel with the axis of the skull. 
The neck is covered by a white mane, shaded with greyish brown. 
The light brown of the back and sides is separated from the yellowish 
white of the belly by a wide dark line. The light brown of the upper 
parts gets gradually lighter towards the tail, where it becomes greyish 
white, but does not form a sharply marked anal disk. On the back 
there is a sharply marked dark line running from the shoulders to 
the loins. I did not find any soft hair under the long winter hair in 
October. 

Height at the shoulder, 3 ft. 6 in.; length of the horns, from 44 in. 
to 45 in. 

Range.—Ovis karelini inhabits all the Semiretchinsk Altai, and 
also the Sapliskey Altai, but is not so common there as in the moun- 
tains between Tamgali (?) and Kaskelen; but it is partly driven from 
this latter locality by the Cossack sportsmen, and has gone to a 
higher elevation, namely the Kebin Steppe, above the range of trees. 
East of Tamgali (?) (Turgeli) (?), on the bare mountains and plains 
near the rivers Chilik and Kelen, Ovis karelini is very abundant, but 
not on the mountains covered with trees; it extends from this locality 
as far as Santash. Further it inhabits all the neighbourhood of Issik 
Kul; is rather rare on the northern parts of the Thian Shan, which 
are thickly wooded. I also met with numerous flocks in the steppes 
of the Narin, where they find abundance of food and shelter at an 
elevation of about 12,000 or 13,000 feet above the level of the sea. 


VWrED SHEEP. OF THIAN SHAN. 199 


This species is also met with on the mountains separating the Narin 
from its tributary the Atpash, as far as the plains between the rivers 
Kurtka and Chatir Kul; but from the eastern sources of the Atpash 
as far as the Chatir Kul it is found only in company with Ovis poli.

OVIS HODGSONI. 


[Sir VicToR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. B. BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 520]. 


ApULT male, winter, Colebrooke collection. Obtained within 
30 miles of Leh in the winter of 1873. 

Hair of body about 2 inches in length, coarse and close-set; on 
the sides and lower surface of the neck the hair is lengthened into a 
long rich ruff-like mane of a snow-white colour. Along the median 
line of the upper neck there is a narrow band of rather shorter hair, 
which, however, is about twice as long as that on the body, and, being 
continued as far back as the withers, forms a short dorsal mane ; 
general colour of the body dark brown, mixed with grey; anterior 
parts of the face, belly, limbs below the carpi and tarsi internally, and 
a small anal disk surrounding the tail and rump, dirty white; cheeks 
and forearms darker than the rest of the body; ears and tail short, 
the latter with a narrow dark line along its upper surface; horns 
massive and rather short, their terminal curve being but slightly 
developed. 

“Female, much paler than the male, with little or no mane. No 
distinct anal disk. 

Range.—Little Thibet (Kinloch, &c.); Cachar region, Nepaul

OVIS BROOKEI. 
|Sir VICTOR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. B. BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 521]. 


THIS species is based upon a skull and horns in our own collection. 
The locality from which the specimen was obtained in not so certain 
as could be desired, but we have strong reasons for believing that the 
animal was shot in the vicinity of Leh, in Ladak. In its much 
smaller size it differs from Ovis hodgsoni, and in its deeply sulcated 
horns, the angles of which are very much rounded and the terminal 
curve but slightly developed, it differs as decidedly from Ovis karelini. 
It is not improbable that the species will be found to inhabit the 


Kuenluen Mountains.

KAMSCHATKA WILD SHEEP or WILD SHEEP OF ALASKA 
(Ovis nivicola). 


[Sir VICTOR BROOKE, Bart., and Mr. B. BROOKE, P.Z.S. 1875, p. 521.] 


ADULT male (winter), Mus. Lugd., Kamschatka. 

Hair very long and woolly, and not lengthened into a mane on the 
neck; general colour grizzly brown; an indefinitely bounded patch 
on the face below the eyes, and all four limbs anteriorly rich uniform 
dark brown; space round the muzzle, upper and under lip, rump, and 
posterior part of the haunches, centre of the belly, and the limbs 


posteriorly pure white. The white on the posterior parts of the limbs 


give place very suddenly to the brown of their anterior surfaces. The 
white of the rump does not surround the tail, which on its upper 
surface is darker than the back. Ears and tail very short. 

Horns in form closely resembling those of Ovis montana. Frontal 
and nuchal surfaces convex; orbital surface flat ; fronto-nuchal and 
edges very greatly rounded; fronto-orbital edge strongly defined, a 
deep groove lying between it and the orbital surface; the terminal 
curve of the horns well developed, and directed upwards and outwards. 

Skull remarkably short and broad, and strongly anchylosed; a 
shallow anteorbital fossa. Length from between horns to end of 
preemaxille ro inches, its greatest width across the orbits 6% inches; 
height at the shoulder, 37 inches; length of horns round curve, 
33 inches, their circumference 123 inches. 

Adult male, Mus. Strassburg. Only differs from the former in 
being considerably paler in colour. Length of horns 27 inches, their 
circumference 134 inches. 

Adult female, Mus. Lugd. Is darker than the male, and has short 
compressed horns, about g inches in length. The distribution of 
colour is the same as in the male. 

Range.—Kamschatka (Eschscholtz) ; Stanovoi Mountains, as far 
south as the sources of the Utschur (Middendorff).

214 GREAT GAME OF THE WORLD: 


MOUFFLON (Ovis musimon).* 


[BLYTH, P.Z.S. 1840, p. 72.] 


Ir is unnecessary to give a detailed description of this beautiful 
little species, though I may mention that the fine living male in 
the gardens measures 39 in. from nose to tail, the tail 5 in.; 
from nose to base of horn 7 in.; ears 4 in.; neck, from posterior 
base of horn to the abrupt angle of its insertion, 8 in., and thence 
to base of tail 21 in.; height at the shoulder 23 ft. 

The female has seldom any horns, which, when they exist, are 


ordinarily about 2 in. long.

AOUDAD (Ovis tragelaphus). 


[BLYTH, P.Z.S. 1840, p. 75.] 


THIS animal appears to vary considerably in size—some exceeding 
a Fallow Deer in stature, while others are much smaller. It has 
no beard on the chin, like the true goats, but is remarkable for the 
long hanging hair in front of the neck and on the upper part of 
the fore-limbs, the former attaining in fine males to about a foot in 
length, and the latter to g in.; there is also some lengthened hair 
at the setting on of the head, and a dense nuchal mane, the hairs 
of which are 3 in. long, continued over the withers till lost about 
the middle of the back; general colour yellow-brown; horns mode- 
rately stout, turning outwards, backwards, and so inwards, with 
the tips inclining towards each other. 

This species is well known as the ‘‘ Aoudad” of the Moors, and 
the “Kebsh” of the Egyptians; it is also, according to Riippell, 
the “Tedal” of the inhabitants of Nubia, which is doubtless the 
same as “ Teybal,”’ applied by Burkhardt to the wild goat of that 
region, in addition to the word ‘“‘ Beden,” which (in common with 
Riippell and others) he also assigns to the latter.

DWARF BUFFALO (Bos pumillus). 


[Sir Vicror’ BROOKE, Bart.,P.Z.S2 1875, py 45551 


FEMALE about three years of age, all the permanent incisors except 
the two external teeth being in place (Zoological Gardens, Antwerp, 
received from Senegal) :— 

Hair harsh, on the body and limbs of moderate length, longer on 
the withers and upper and under parts of the neck; general colour 
bright yellow ; on the shoulders and anterior parts of the body there is 
a strong tinge of brown, caused by an intermixture of brown and yellow 
hairs; on the flanks and belly the yellow shades gradually into deep 
rufous ; upper parts and sides of the head and neck pure yellow, lower 
surface of head and neck paler; entire upper and lower lip, fore limbs 
from above the carpi, and hind limbs from below the tarsi downwards 
black; ears about Io in. in length and 6 in. in breadth, narrowed 
gradually towards their tips, which, from their flexibility and length, 
curl back upon the ear-conches; internally the upper rim of the ear- 
conch is covered by pure yellow hair of about 5 in. length, hair of 
similar length and colour forming two marked lines along their inner 
surface ; hair on the lower rim of the ear-conch and on the tip black; 
tail bare, excepting the terminal tuft, which is black. 


DWARF BUFFALO: 231 


Height at the shoulder about 42 in.; horns slightly compressed at 
their bases, and directed upwards; the head is remarkably long in 
proportion to the body, which is compact and powerful, the limbs 
short. 

MALE, ADULT.—Generally darker than the female (Du Chaillu) ; 
horns greatly compressed from above downwards and broad at their 
bases, which are transversed in unworn specimens by numerous 
sharply-marked irregular ridges; beyond these ridges the horns are 
suddenly contracted into round smooth points, which are directed 
upwards and sometimes boldly backwards. 

The basal portion of the horn in most adult specimens rises slightly 
but decidedly from the horizontal upon leaving the skull; in other 
specimens, however, as for example in the type, the entire horn is 
directed upwards; length of horns round the curve about 21 in., their 
diameter at the base 7 in. 

FEMALE, ADULT.—In the female the horns are much less com- 
pressed at the base than in the male; asin the male the direction of 
the points of the horns is very variable; length of horns round the 
_ curve 17 in., their diameter at the base 43 in. 

RANGE.—Western Equatorial, and the northern parts of Central 


Africa. 
Habitat—Africa.

THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION. 


Tun JUNGLE 


“But everything else here is likely to be forgotten in presence of the wonderful jungle scene which Mr. Rowland 
Ward has constructed. . . . This will certainly be the first of the many attractions to which visitors will turn. 
oe They will find themselves in presence of a scene which is likely to keep their gaze for some time. Mr. Ward 
has made the most of his limited space, into which he has collected the scenery and life which, in reality, is found 
scattered over an area of many thousand square miles. On the right we have a trophy from Kooch Behar, formed 
by His Highness the Maharajah, the most prominent feature of which is a tiger hunt. We see a great group in the 
deep grass jungle. . . . Adjoining this are trophies designed to represent generally the Fauna and Flora of 
India, by representative animals and birds, picturesquely grouped in illustration of their life-habits.”— Ties. 

“The visitors . . . were lost in admiration of Mr. Rowland Ward’s-masterly designs, modellings, and 
general arrangement. The novelty is already known as ‘the Jungle.’ . . . The deep grass jungle is occupied 
necessarily by many creatures which would not in their native wilds be found in such close companionship. auee 
The scene is rendered with true tragic power.” —Daily News. 

“These numerous beasts . . . seem to illustrate the Fauna of India in a most vivid manner, and are very 
artistically prepared and arranged. . . . The entire trophy has been prepared by Mr. Rowland Ward. ‘This 
group will unquestionably be one of the leading attractions of an exhibition which is already full of marvellous 
things.” —Morning Post. 

“Fitted up with the most perfect completeness—a jungle—the work of Mr. Rowland Ward. . . . The whole 
scene depicted is so life-like that one is startled by its vivid realism. . . . This jungle alone is almost enough to 
make an exhibition. . . . Besides, Mr. Rowland Ward has designed and arranged such other scenes in connec- 
tion with several Colonial Courts.”—Dady Chronicle. 

“Mr. Rowland Ward, of Piccadilly, provides what will probably prove the most attractive feature of the exhibi- 
tion, in the form of a series of picturesque trophies representing India, Ceylon, South Africa, Canada, and Queens- 
land.” —Sfortsman. 

“Perhaps the first place must be accorded to the jungle scene of Mr. Rowland Ward, which stands at the head 
of the Indian Courts, and which will certainly prove one of the favourite sights of the vast show.” —Daily Telegraph. 


““Sport, however, it must be borne in mind, is a thing of every climate and of all seasons, and the manual referred 
to—‘ The Sportsman's Handbook,’ by Rowland Ward, F.Z.S.—has a little to say of most regions, from the North of 
Scandinavia to the South of India. All knowledge is apt to come in useful; and even those of us who may never 
know the delight of facing a charge of the Cape buffalo—under some circumstances among the most dangerous 
experiences of the sportsman, we are told—may yet find a less rapturous pleasure in learning how a real sportsman 
should entertain such a visitor. The next best thing to being able to shoot a lion in a workmanlike fashion is to 
know how the thing ought to be done, and that is among the items of instruction in this little book.” —Daily News, 
Leading Article. 

“With this in his portmanteau, no one fond of shooting and collecting need any longer lament his inability to 
Preserve his trophies, since the directions given for skinning and preserving animals of all kinds are extremely clear 
and simple, and rendered all the more intelligible by the wood engravings by which they are accompanied. 
Quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects, are all dealt with in turns, and directions given not merely for 
esnaing them, but also for mounting them, if desired, a year or two (it may be) after they have been procured.”— 

wld. 

““No one has a better right to speak with authority on questions of taxidermy than Mr. Ward, whose skill in the 
art is well known to everyone interested in the subject. In an introductory chapter he deals with much practical 
wisdom with the general equipment of a sportsman bent on big game, and gives some valuable particulars as to the 
places in which in various animals a well-aimed shot will be fatal. . . . The middle of the book is occupied with 
directions as close and full as possible as to the skinning and preparation of various creatures ; and, as we have said, 
no one is better qualified than Mr. Ward to give such directions. After this comes a synoptical guide to the Hunting 
Grounds of the World. A special feature in the arrangement of the book is found in the reservation of several 
blank pages at the end for memoranda.”—Saturday Review. 

““Mr. Ward’s eminently clear and practical directions and hints come to us particularly well-timed. . . . It is 
a thoroughly working little volume, and no sporting collector ought to be without it.”—ZLand and Water. 

“‘A valuable feature of this book is the directions (with anatomical diagrams) given for vital shots at great and 
dangerous game. This is original information, and so is the important division of the work that treats of the hunting 
fields of the world, and what fer@ ature can be met with by the sportsman in each locality. . . . The book is 
a valuable and well-written contribution to the literature of the subject of which it treats, and it will be welcomed by 
the gentleman sportsman, for whom it has been prepared, quite as much as by the aspirant in the arts of taxidermy, 
to whom some of its pages will convey a sort of revelation.” —Country Gentleman. 

““The text is made as clear as possible, but wherever the explanation can be assisted by an illustration one is 
introduced.” —Daily Chronicle. 

““The name of Ward, father and sons, has acquired a world-wide reputation. . . . To sportsmen in India 
this book should prove specially attractive and useful; it should certainly be in the possession of every sportsman and 
collector.” —Calcutta Englishman. 

“The traveller and the trader will find it a useful companion.”—Cafe Argus.
