PREFACE 


THE third Volume of the Catalogue of Ungulate Mammals 
includes the subfamilies Apycerotine, Saigine, Pantho- 
lopine, Antilopine, Orygine and Tragelaphine, and thus 
completes the Bovide, while it contains also an account 
of the Antilocapride and Giraffide. 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.

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 :—

Society’s copy is mainly followed; in the present volume 
that of the Museum copy is quoted. 

Thanks are again due to the Council of the Zoological 
Society, as well as to the Smithsonian Institute, Messrs. 
Rowland Ward, and various friends, for clichés of published 
figures or of photographs.

Thomas, Book of Antelopes, vol. iii, p. 216, 1898; Pocock, Proc. 
Zool. Soc. 1910, pp. 897 and 917. 


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.”

Typical locality Klipfontein, Little Namaqualand, just 
south of the Orange River, which apparently marks the 
southern limit of the species. 

Horns apparently medium in size; no blaze or other 
dark markings on face. Basicranial length about 10% inches 
(260 mm.). 

How far north this race extends has not been determined, 
and the reference to it of some of the undermentioned 
specimens is consequently provisional.

Distinguished from typical race by the shorter horns and 
more slender skull. Lénnberg, op. cit., considers that holudi, 
from the district north of the Zambesi, is probably insepar- 
able from this race. 

Typical locality Nyasaland. 

In The Book of Antelopes Sclater and Thomas came to the 
conclusion that the Nyasa pala was inseparable from the 
typical race of the species, but it seems entitled to rank as a 
distinguishable form. The length of the horns of the type 
specimen, measured in a straight line is 13{ inches; basi- 
cranial length about 10}, inches (255 mm.).

SuBFaMILY xii—SAIGINA. 


Represented by a single medium-sized and heavily built 
existing species. 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.

ears short, thickly haired, and, like the very short tail, 
coloured like the body ; two pairs of lower premolars. 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. 

The range within the historic period is co-extensive with 
that of the subfamily; whether the saiga-remains from the 
British gravels are rightly referred to the existing species, or 
whether they should be identified with the extinct S. prisca 
of the Moravian Pleistocene, may be uncertain.

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.

CHIRU. 


Typical locality Hundes district of Tibet. 

Shoulder-height about 31 or 32 inches; coat very dense, 
close, and crisp; general colour pale fawn, with a fulvous or 
pinkish suffusion, especially on the flanks, gradually passing 
into whitish on under-parts ; face of male blackish, and crown 
of head whitish ; ears short and pointed, whitish; backs of 
ears white; limbs pale greyish white, with a blackish stripe 
down front surface of each pair in male; tail coloured above 
like rump. Basal length of skull about 103 inches. Fine 
horns measure from 24 to 272 inches in length, with a basal 
girth of from 42 to 64, and a tip-to-tip interval ranging from 
11 to 184 inches. 

The range probably includes the whole Tibetan plateau, 
at elevations from about 12,000 to 18,000 feet, and is known 
to extend from the Changchenmo district of north-eastern 
Ladak, through the elevated area north of Kumaon and 
Sikhim, and so on to northern Tibet.

SupraMILy xiv.—_ANTILOPINZA. 


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

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. 

The range of the subfamily includes south-eastern Europe, 
western and central Asia, the Indian Peninsula, and Africa. 

The genera may he distinguished as follows :— 


A. Horns twisted into a corkscrew-like spiral ............ Antilope. 
B. Horns curving backwards, with the basal portion 
convex in front. 
a. No glandular pouch on back. 
a’. Neck normal; a pair of inguinal glands, except 
in G. picticaudata, and usually one pair of

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.

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. Size small or medium; white of rump not 
intruding into fawn of body.............. cece eee Gazella, 


b. Size large; white of rump intruding more or less 
extensively into fawn of body................ceeeeeees Nanger. 


The “keys” to the species are given under the headings 
of their respective subgenera.

ANTILOPIN & 31 


Goa, Racoa, or Ata. 


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.

the exception of a brownish patch on middle of upper 
surface, dirty white, as ave also inner sides of legs and 
cheeks; ears moderate, pointed, and thickly haired; in

yellower, although not much difference in this respect is 
shown by the specimens in the collection. Skull long and 
narrow, with rather elongated, pointed nasals and shallow

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

Includes small or medium-sized gazelles, in which the 
tail is longer than in the preceding group, the white of the 
hind-quarters is restricted to the posterior aspect of the 
hips, so that it does not form a true rump-patch, or intrude 
on to the fawn area of the body, and the face is marked by 
alternating dark and light stripes; face-glands and glandular 
knee-tufts,* as well as inguinal glands, are present; and in 
the great majority of species the females are horned. Skull 
with well-marked lachrymal depressions. 

The distribution is practically co-extensive with that of 
the genus. 

The following is a tentative “key” to the species :— 

A. Females hornless ; males with a“ goitre’’; white 

area on buttocks relatively large. 

a. Face-markings partially obsolete ................. G. subgutturosa. 


* The alleged absence of knee-tufts in G. rufifrons is denied by 
Pocock.

horns of medium length, thick, evenly diverging and curving 
backwards, with the tips distinctly, but not abruptly, turned 
inwards and slightly upwards; general colour in summer— 
when the coat is short—dark sandy fawn, or sandy rufous ; 
in winter—when the coat is longer and rougher—much 
paler; face-markings indistinct, the median dark stripe 
fading into white with age, and the lateral stripes incomplete ; 
ears medium, short-haired even in winter; an indistinct dark

SarKik, or Kix; YARKAND GAZELLE. 


Typical locality plains of Yarkand, Chinese Turkestan. 

The specimen figured by Blanford, which cannot be 
definitely identified, must be regarded as the type. 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

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-

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.

CHINKARA, or INDIAN GAZELLE. 


Type of TZragops and Tragopsis, founded upon the 
supposed absence of face-glands. 

Typical locality Deccan, India. 

Nearly allied to last, but smaller. Shoulder-height about 
25 to 26 inches; ears shorter; whole forehead deep rufous 
fawn, as is also the whole of middle line of face, including 
extremity of muzzle; nose-spot ill-defined and blackish 
brown; horns without any noticeable inturning of tips, 
those of female apparently smaller than in fuseifrons, 

Horns nearly straight, diverging slightly from bases, 
with a slight S-like curvature in profile, and the tips usually 
bending slightly forwards, without any perceptible inturning, 
15 or 16 ridges, occasionally more; general colour dull fawn 
(light chestnut), with the dark face-stripes and muzzle deep 
rufous fawn, and an ill-defined blackish brown nose-spot; 
ears medium, fawn on backs; flank and pygal bands 
brownish fawn scarcely darker than back. Basal length of 
skull about 74 inches, maximum width 33, length from 
muzzle to orbit 4 inches. Good horns measure from 12 to 
158 inches in length, with a basal girth of from 34 to 43, 
and a tip-to-tip interval of from 44 to 83 inches. 

The range is restricted to peninsular India and perhaps 
Sind; the lowland gazelle of Eastern Persia identified by 
Blanford with this species being fuscifrons.

Epi. 


Typical locality Mogador. 

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

species is distinguished by its somewhat inferior size and 
smaller and rather differently curved horns. 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.),

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. Neumann ;

Typical locality Muscat, Oman, eastern Arabia. 

Nearly allied to G. arabica, but smaller—the shoulder- 
height being only about 21 to 22 inches—and with the tips of 
the relatively short horns markedly inturned. General colour 
dark rufous fawn, closely approximating to the smoky fawn 
of the Aden race of arabica; dark flank-band blackish, light 
one obsolete; median face-stripe deep rufous with a blackish 
nose-patch, light lateral stripes narrow and well defined, but 
the dark external ones not defined from fawn of cheeks ; limbs 
white only on inner surfaces of upper segment of front pair 
and thighs, with brownish knee-tufts. Basal length of adult 
female skull 537, maximum breadth 2, length from muzzle 
to orbit 28 inches.

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.

Type of Hudoreas and Korin. 

Typical locality Senegambia. 

Size medium, build relatively stout. Horns com- 
paratively short, heavily ringed, evenly divergent, slightly 
curved backwards, and turning forwards at the tips; general 
colour deep sandy rufous, brightening into rich rufous on 
the lateral and broad median face-stripes; no dark nose- 
spot; light face-stripes buff; a broad sandy buff light 
flank-band, below which is a narrow black one; pygal band 
nearly obsolete; root of tail sandy. Skull with rather short 
and (especially posteriorly) broad nasals, and narrow nasal 
aperture; basal length 7 inches, maximum breadth 3, length 
from orbit to muzzle 4 inches. Length of good horns 11 to 
134 inches, basal girth 43 to 54, tip-to-tip interval 32 to 
72 inches. 

The alleged absence of knee-tufts is denied by Pocock ; * 
their presence in G. 7. levipes being mentioned by Lonnberg, 
as cited under the heading of that race. 

The range extends from Senegambia and Nigeria to 
Kordofan and other parts of the Eastern Sudan.

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.

Distinguished by the ochery fawn general colour, with a 
paler zone above dark flank-band; tail coloured like back 
for its basal inch, elsewhere black above; dark band 
bordering white area on buttocks faint; forehead darker 
and deeper in colour than cheeks and neck, with a few white 
hairs between horns. The white nose of the type specimen 
is almost certainly either an individual peculiarity or a 
feature induced by captivity.

Dorcas GAZELLE. 


Type of Dorcas. 

Typical locality Egypt.t 

Size small or medium, the shoulder-height ranging from 
21 or 22 to about 244 inches. ‘Typically, horns of medium 
length, and markedly different in shape from those of any 
other species, being compressed, evenly divergent as they

separated as G. littoralis is included.

curve backwards, and approximating terminally, with the 
tips bent upwards in a well-marked curve; in addition to 
this simple curvature the middle portion of each horn is bent 
outwards in a lyre-shape, so that the larger diameter of a 
transverse section above is in quite a different plane to what 
it is lower down, and it is in consequence of this lyrate form 
that the horns, quite apart from the tips, are approximated 
terminally, whereas in other species such approximation is 
due solely to the incurving of the tips.* General colour pale 
sandy fawn, somewhat variable in tone individually ; fore- 
head and median face-stripe rufous fawn, generally withont 
a nose-spot, lateral face-stripes brownish fawn; ears rather 
long (about 444 inches), whitish fawn on backs; flank-band 
brown, considerably darker than back; pygal band indistinct. 
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.

Typical locality western Kinyene, Ugogo. 
Size relatively large (shoulder-height about 34 inches) ; 


ANTILOPIN 89 


general colour lightish cinnamon; white rump-patch large, 
undivided by a backward continuation of the cinnamon 
colour of the back, and the whole of the basal portion of the 
upper surface of the tail white; lateral extension of the 
rump-patch intruding largely into the body-colour, so as to 
extend beyond the dark pygal band; no dark flank-band in 
adult ; horns evenly diverging in an ellipsoidal curve, with 
their tips somewhat approximated. Good horns measure 
from 27 to 30} inches in length, with a basal girth of from 
63 to 73, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 11 to 24% inches. 
According to Heller, the range is restricted to the Ugogo 
district of German East Africa; and if this be correct and 
G. g. roosevelti a valid race, the under-mentioned British East 
African specimens will have to be referred to that form.

Typical locality Athi Plains, B. E. Africa. 

Type in U.S. National Museum. 

Stated to be darker in colour* than the typical race, with 
smaller and less spreading horns. General colour (in type) 
vinaceous-cinnamon, paler towards head and on flanks, where 
it becomes pinkish buff; rump-patch continuous with a large 
white basal portion of tail, and bordered in front by a broad 
clove-brown pygal band; flanks with a band of light buff 
bordering the broad band of pinkish buff above; outside of 
legs pinkish buff like sides of body; top of head and 
median line of nose cinnamou-rufous, with a large clove- 
brown blotch on nose. Females and young males show a 
dark flank-band and strongly marked pygal band. 

According to its describer, this race occupies a consider- 
able area in B. E. Africa.

» Whether this so-called race is really anything more than 
the product of a single original herd may be doubtful, 
as heads have come under the writer’s observation in which 
one horn was of the true granti, and the other of the roberts:

SaLa (SwadILi). 


Typical locality the neighbourhood of the mouth of the 
Tana, East Africa. 

Type the skull figured by Peters; probably in the Berlin 
Museum. 

Size rather smaller than in typical race (shoulder-height 
about 33 inches), and colour darker than in any of the other 
forms; white rump-patch relatively small, and divided 
superiorly by a backward prolongation of the body-coiour 
in the form of a broad band extending on to and along the 
upper surface of the tail; the lateral prolongation of the 
rump-patch narrower and intruding to a smaller extent into 
the body-colour than in typical race, so as scarcely, if at all, 
to overhang the dark pygal band. Horns shorter and less 
divergent than in typical granti, and skull somewhat 
smaller, with a rather narrower nasal opening. Good horns 
measure from 20 to 233 inches in length, with a basal girth 
of from 5} to 62, and a tip-to-tip interval of from 5} to 
11 inches. 

The range includes the coast districts of East Africa from 
Mombasa northwards to beyond the Tana,

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.

that of body. 


a‘, Rufous area large and forward intrusion of 


white of rump small ......... 0c eee G. d. mhorr. 
b?. Rufous area more restricted, and forward

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. 

The range includes Senegal, Gambia, and the Lake Chad 
district.

Typical locality Senegambia. 

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.

III. Genus ANTIDORCAS. 


Antidorcas, Swndevall, K. Svenska Vet.-Ak. Handl. 1845, p. 271, 
1847; Thomas and Sclater, Book of Antelopes, vol. iii, p. 53, 
1897; O. Newmann, Sttzber. Ges. nat. Freunde, 1906, p. 237; 
Pocock, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1910, pp. 898 and 897. 


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.

and Thomas, Book of Antelopes, vol. iii, p. 227, 1898; Pocock, 
Proce. Zool. Soc. 1910, p. 896. 


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. 

Represented by a single large Somali and East African 
species.

approximately equal size in both sexes. Muzzle hairy; no 
face-glands or inguinal glands; tail long and more or less 
tufted at tip ; two pairs of teats; lateral hoofs present ; feet 
constructed on the same general type as in the Caprinw 
(vol. i, p. 72) with glands in both pairs, which consist of a 
thick-walled, elongated sac, discharging by an orifice situated 
close to summit of interungual web, or (Addaz) the whole 
gland small and opening behind an excrescence from the top 
of the web; face-markings, which are present in the young, 
of a gazelline type, when fully developed; these, and 
apparently the foot-glands, indicating some kind of relation- 
ship with the Antiloping, Skull heavy, without supraorbital 
pits or lachrymal depressions, and with small or no lachrymal 
vacuities ; upper molars with tall subquadrangular crowns, 
severally furnished with an accessory column on inner side, 
and thus closely resembling those of the Bovine. 

The range of the group includes the more open districts 
of Ethiopian Africa, together with Mesopotamia and Arabia. 

The three genera are distinguishable as follows :— 
A. Hoofs normal; horns straight or sabre-like. 

a. Horns arising behind eye-sockets, and sloping 


backwards, at least at first, nearly in line of face. Oryz. 
b. Horns arising above eye-sockets nearly vertically. Hzppotragus. 


B. Hoofs low, flat, and broadly rounded in front; horns 
forming a corkscrew-like spiral ..............ceeeee sees Addaz.

Size large; general form taller and more slender than in 
preceding genus. Horns medium or very long, heavily 
ridged, cylindrical or compressed, and rising nearly vertically 
above eye-sockets, so as to form an obtuse angle with plane 
of face, after which they sweep backwards in a_ bold, 
scimetar-like curve, with a comparatively shght but regular 
divergence; glandular tufts of white hairs below eyes. 
Skull closely resembling that of Oryx in general characters, 
but the lachrymal fissures frequently obliterated. 

The range comprises the greater portion of Ethiopian 
Africa, exclusive of the equatorial forest-zone.

140 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 


Typical locality Abilela, Lower Shari Valley, N. W. Africa. 

Type in Senckenberg Museum, Frankfort-am-Main. 

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.).

* The reasons for rejecting this name are given in vol. ii, p. 39, 

of this Catalogue. Schwarz, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 8, vol. xiii, 

p. 84, 1914, considers that the specific name indicates the Korrigum, 

for which he accordingly employs the name Damaliscus koba in place 

of D. korrigum.

Size and general characters very similar to those of Oryx, 
but horns twisted into a heteronymous corkscrew-like spiral, 
and the hoofs low, flat, elongated posteriorly, and broad in 
front; patches of long hairs below the eyes, probably 
corresponding to the glandular eye-tufts of Mippotragus ; 
a tuft on forehead and short mane on sides of neck; hairs 
of mid-dorsal line not reversed, except occasionally on neck ; 
tail-tuft relatively small. 

The range includes the desert tracts of northern Africa 
as far south as Senegal on the west and Dongola on the east.

Typical locality Dongola. 

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.

SUBFAMILY xvii-TRAGELAPHIN~. 


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.

open lyrate:cUrve ceusssiuiededesnsssccevemseamsmnans ove Bodcercus.

than two complete turns of a spiral............... Tragelaphus. 
b?. Horns rounded behind at base, without external

Face-glands wanting; horns relatively long, restricted to 
males, with the basal portion of hind surface rounded and a 
strong external keel, forming, as a rule, not more than two 
complete turns of a spiral; face, body, and limbs more or 
less fully marked with white, at least in youth; tail thickly 
haired throughout ; ears large and expanded. Upper molars 
rather narrow, without inner accessory columns. Inguinal

Guin; Busupuck; Harnessep ANTELOPE; GuiIB; DrcuLA. 

Typical locality Senegal. 

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.

Height at shoulder about 26 inches. Neck fully haired ; 
dorsal crest black ; general colour yellowish or sandy brown, 
gradually darkening on shoulders and hind-quarters, and so 
on to under-parts ; a white spot below each eye, and another 
on lower jaw ; two longitudinal bands, of which the lower is 
broken up into streaks, but generally no distinct transverse 
stripes or haunch-spots; usual throat- and limb-markings 
present. T. decula fulvo-ochraceus is based on the skull and 
skin of a female from Dungoler, near Lake Tsana (Tana),

on upper Webi Shebeli watershed, Arusi Gallaland. 

Type in collection of Dr. O. Neumann. 

Size large, shoulder-height about 294 inches; coat long; 
neck fully haired; dorsal crest black, with a few white hairs 
posteriorly ; general colour ranging from blackish rufous 
grey (like that of sylvaticus, infra, p. 162) to deep shining 
black; no white markings on body with the occasional 
exception of two or three flecks on haunches; an imperfect 
white chevron between eyes; white markings on fore-legs 
much the same as in mdticolor (infra, p. 177), but the spots 
above hoofs smaller and less distinct. 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. The coat is almost wholly black, and thus

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

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. Its 
claim to distinction is more than doubtful.

Tragelaphus cottoni meridionalis, Matschie, op. cit. p. 555, 1912. 
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 bushbuck described as 7. ¢. dodinge is stated to be 


* In the type I could detect only five distinct stripes on one side 
and four on the other. 


168 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 


very similar, both in coloration and size, to typical cottond, 
but with a longer skull (basal length 214 mm., against 
205-207 mm.), and the “legs” of the horseshoe-mark on the 
fore part of the back shorter. Female apparently smaller

p. 564, 


Including :— 
Tragelaphus locorine laticeps, Matschie, op. cit. p. 565, 1912. 


Typical locality southward of Mount Dodinga, and 
northwards of Mount Marangolé, north-west Turkana, near 
Mount Locorina, south Toposa. 

Type in collection of Major Powell-Cotton at Quex. 

Typically a large form, with a nearly bare collar on neck, 
and the dorsal crest black, mingled with a few white hairs ; 
general colour bright ochery rufous, very dark on back, 
where the hair-tips are black, on chest suffused with grey ; 
under-parts black; chin and a line leading from it to throat- 
patch white. A line of seven white spots on sides of body 
of female, which is lacking in male; two white spots on 
haunches ; under-parts black. Basal length of skull 232 mm., 
maximum width 107 mm. 

Tf. 1. laticeps is based on a skull and skin from the north- 
west foot of Mount Debasien, north of Elgon, in the 
collection of Major Powell-Cotton. The skin agrees closely 
with the typical locorinw in colour, but is of smaller size, 
and the skull is relatively broader.

TRAGELAPHIN A 169 


Typical locality Kalakaba, about 40 miles from Mahagi, 
at the north end of the Albert Nyanza, below the water- 
shed of the Ituri. 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. 

Some of the following specimens may belong to this form.

Suppl. p. 16, 1911. 


Typical locality Sayer Valley, N.W. of Mount Kenia, near 
Gessima, British East Africa.* 

Described from an immature female specimen. 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

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.

Tragelaphus scriptus olivaceus, Heller, Smithson. Misc. Collect. vol. 
lxi, no. 13, p. 1, 19138. 


Typical locality Maji-ya-Chumbi, B. E. Africa. 

Type in U.S. National Museum, Washington. 

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). 

No specimen in the collection has been identified with 
this form.

The range includes eastern and southern Africa from 
Abyssinia and Somaliland to Cape Colony, and thence along 
the western side of the continent as far north as the Congo. 
The two existing species are distinguishable as follows :—

horns (fig. 29) forming a narrow close spiral, with distinct 
rings; no throat-fringe, but a white gorget on throat and 
another on chest; general deep yellowish grey, becoming 
blackish on muzzle, cheeks, under surface of lower jaw, and

and a chevron on nose white; ears whitish at base and on 
front of margins; a black nuchal stripe from occiput to 
withers, continued as a white one to root of tail; body 
marked with from eleven to fourteen transverse white stripes, 
the first crossing shoulders, and the last, which is very short, 
close to tail, the tail itself being black at tip and white 
beneath ; fore-legs grey superiorly, but rich fawn from above

knees to hoofs, witha large patch on inner side of upper part 
and another behind the knees white, and a black patch on 
inner surface above knees; shanks and pasterns black behind, 
the latter with or without a pair of white spots above hoofs 
in front; fronts of thighs and inner sides of hind-legs white, 
rest of hind-legs bright fawn, except for a white patch on 
front of pasterns and another on inner side of same. 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.

52 inches); throat without white gorget, but heavily fringed ; 
and horns forming a much more open spiral than in pre- 
ceding species. General colour ranging from reddish fawn 
to (in old animals) pale bluish grey; neck brown at base 
and darker than shoulder; head darker than fore part of 
neck, with a whitish area round each eye, and an infra- 
orbital chevron, two or three spots on each side of cheeks, 
edges of upper lips, and chin and under surface of lower jaw 
white; a thickish fringe of white and blackish brown hairs 
extending from middle of under surface of lower jaw to 
lower part of throat, which lacks a white gorget; neck and 
withers with a brown mane, continued posteriorly as a white 
fringe to root of tail; sides of body and haunches marked 
with from about four to nine or ten vertical white stripes ; tail

white below with a black tip; under-parts greyish, tending 
to black in middle; legs rich fawn to knees and hocks, the 
front pair whitish on inner side at origin and behind knees, 
as well as on inner and hind aspects of shanks, with a pale 
blackish brown patch on inner side above knees, and the 
pasterns black behind, with faint traces of a pair of white

spots above the hoofs in front; in hind pair the inner side 
of the upper portion of the thighs and the front surface down 
to the hocks white, this gradually dying out between the 
hocks and pasternus. Basal length of skull (in southern race) 
about 15 inches, interval between orbit and muzzle 9, and 
maximum width about 62 inches. Horns with an open 
spiral ; fine examples measure from 55 to 61 inches in length

along the curve, with a basal girth of from 10 to 14, and a 
tip-to-tip interval of from 19 to 48} inches. 

In females the general colour is nearly uniform fawn, 
rather darker above than below; in the young the colour is 
redder than in the adult, with the white markings more 
pronounced. 

The skull differs from that of the preceding species by 
the narrower and more triangular lachrymal vacuity and the 
greater development of the masseter knob. 

The named races are distinguishable as follows :— 


A. Stripes very numerous, usually 9 or 10............... S. s. strepsiceros. 
B. Stripes fewer, usually 6 to 8........ eee eeeee S. s. bea. 
c. Stripes still fewer, usually 4 or 5, but occasionally 7 S. s. chora.

Type in U.S. National Museum, Washington. 

General colour brighter than: in typical race, with the 
stripes more conspicuous, but reduced in number to six or 
eight. Compared with the next race, which it resembles in 
the reduction of the stripes, it differs by the darker colour of 
the median region of- the back, the ear-tips, and the bands 
on the pasterns, as well as by the longer coat and more 
conspicuous stripes.

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,

ELLAND. 


Typical locality South Africa. 

The type species ; also type of Oreas and Doratoceros. 

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

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. 

The four better known races are distinguishable as 
follows :—

Type in Tring Museum. 

Horns longer and comparatively more slender than in 
either of the preceding races, with the spiral starting more 
on front of forehead, and the anterior keel passing only once 
round back of horn; distance between base of horn and 
second frontal point of the twist greater than in other races, 
and the interval between horns narrower than in gigas but 
wider than in derbianus. Hair of forehead and between 
horn-bases blackish chestnut, instead of the bright reddish 
fulvous of the other races.

V. Genus TETRACERUS.

meyer, Abh. schweiz. pal. Ges. vol. iv, p. 218, 1877; Sclater and 
Thomas, Book of Antelopes, vol. i, p. 218, 1896; Pocock, Proc. 
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.

glands and lachrymal pits; the absence of glands in the hind 
lateral hoofs, the single pair of short and distinctly keeled 
horns, which are restricted to males, and the taller crowns 
of the upper molars, which have an additional column on 
the inner side; withers considerably higher than hind- 
quarters; tail reaching to hocks, more or less fringed at 
sides, but not distinctly tufted at tip. Sexes unlike in 
colour, with tragelaphine markings partially developed. 

The range is restricted to the plains of Peninsular India.

NILGAI. 


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.

Famity [I1.—ANTILOCAPRIDA. 


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.

in both sexes; males larger than females; ears narrow; 
coloration in the shape of large dark blotches, or 
“spots,” separated by lighter intervals of varying width Giraffa. 


B. Size smaller; neck and limbs of more normal proportions ; 
horns present only in males, which are smaller than 
females; ears broad; coloration uniform on greater 
portion of body, striped on hind-quarters and legs......... Okapia. 


* = metacarpals + metatarsals.

Typical locality southern Somaliland, whence the range 
extends to Gallaland, and, through the Lake Rudolf district, 
to the Guaso-nyiro, British East Africa, and perhaps to 
Kenia. 

General colour typically deep liver-red, marked with a 
coarse net-work of narrow white lines, the subquadrangular

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. Dark areas large and uniform liver-red, with or 

without a small central white spot.................. G. r. reticulata. 
B. Dark areas smaller and brownish rufous, with a

Typical locality Eastern Sudan or Southern Abyssinia, 

A variable species in which the dark areas are never so 
large or so red as in vretiewlufe, while the light ones do not 
form such a coarse and distinct network, and are very 
frequently tawny instead of white. . Typically the colour- 
pattern consisting of a chestnut ground cut up into moderate- 
sized and more or less ruunded patches by a network of 
light lines; the shanks white; and the anterior horn well 
developed. From this type there is a gradation to one in 
which the colour-pattern consist of small brownish or chest- 
nut blotches on a fawn ground, the shanks fawn-coloured 
and spotted down to the hoofs, and the anterior horn obsolete. 

The following is a tentative “key” to the named local 
races, based on males only: 


a. Anterior born well developed.

and hind ones mainly so.

Typical locality Eastern Sudan, or perhaps Abyssinia ; 
the range extending, according to Trouessart, into the 
Timbuktu district of the Western Sudan. 

Colour-pattern approximating to that of G@. reticulata, but 
the coloured areas smaller and sandy or chestnut, and the 
light lines buffish white; front of face sparsely, and sides of 
same fully spotted; large spots on shoulders and upper part 
of fore-legs ; shanks white, the hind pair more or less spotted 
superiorly. Anterior horn well developed, but no occipital 
horns. 

Two types of colour-pattern occur in the giraffes of the 
Eastern Sudan, namely, that just described and the one 
recorded under the next heading, but which represents the 
typical C. giraffu of Linnzus, it is impossible to decide.

Typical locality Kordofan. 

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

its reappearance in the Kordofan example shown in fig. 42,

Typical locality Southern Nigeria, south-east of the 
junction of the Benue with the Niger. 

Allied to the Nubian race, but distinguished by its paler 
coloration—especially on the head—and its more numerous 
and differently arranged spots, a characteristic feature being 
the white, sparsely spotted occipital region, and the presence 
of a large fawn-coloured patch below the ears, covering an 
area which is white in the Nubian race, and in other races 
marked with small spots.

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. 


CGHRAFFID.E 249 


like in outline, the intervening spaces being light orange- 
fawn; light areas on neck very broad; white space round 
ears small; sides of face sparsely spotted.

with very similarly shaped spots, and the shanks of the legs 
fawn-coloured and profusely spotted with tan down to the 
pasterns. 

No specimen in collection.

p. 484, 1911, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1912, p. 771, pl. Ixxxvi. 


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

space between the eye and the nostril devoid of spots, but 
in adult males of tippelskirechi the ground-colour of the 
whole head is dirty greyish white, whereas in thornicrofti 
the forehead is chestnut or umber brown, deepening into

p. 134, 1912. 

Typical locality Dungu, north-east of the Welle River, 

Belgian Congo.* 

Type in Congo Museum, Tervueren, Belgium. 

Characterised by the large size and sub-quadrangular 
form of the body-spots, which show no tendency to split up 
into stars, the fully spotted shanks—especially the hind pair 

—of which the ground-colour is grey-fawn, and the well-

Stated to resemble capensis (infra, p. 256) in the general 
character of the markings, except on the hind-legs, where, 
especially in the male, the spots assume an irregular rosette- 
like form; ground-colour of neck and body light smoky

Type in Tring Museum. 

Allied to capensis (infra, p. 256), but with the brown 
markings of the sub-quadrangular type of those of congoénsis, 
and separated from one another by a network of lighter lines. 
Spots on face restricted to an area below a line connecting 
the lower border of eye with angle of mouth; an indistinct 
triangular white patch below ear; body-spots large, brown, 
with ill-defined margins; a sudden break into smaller spots 
at middle of thighs and on the corresponding part of fore-legs, 
recalling the similar but more strongly pronounced feature in 
antiquorum, Which this race also resembles in the abundant 
spotting of the under-parts ; ground-colour white or whitish ; 
shanks tawny, profusely spotted to the hoofs. Anterior 
horn represented by a low tuberosity or swelling; whether 
occipital horns were developed is not apparent.
