“It also, from all accounts, frequents the open tablelands bordering Unyoro and the Albert Nyanza, as well as the province of Bulamweze in Uganda, which presents somewhat similar characteristics. “In appearance _B. jacksoni_ is larger and more strongly built than _B. cokei_, and varies in colour from a light golden brown to a dark tawny red, its coat being beautifully fine and glossy. It is easily distinguished by the great length of its head and the peculiar set of its horns, which rise almost perpendicularly from the frontal bones, and curve sharply backwards near the tips at almost a right angle. “These Antelopes possess great tenacity of life, and I have known one to get clean away though struck with two 577 express bullets. On the other hand, if fairly hit in a vital spot they die very easily. The cows calve in November and December, and, so far as one can judge, give birth to only one at a time. The calves themselves are very hardy and vigorous little animals; and I have known of one, which could not have been born more than a week or so at the most, completely out-distance one of my men who tried to run it down in the open--and this in spite of the fact that one leg was partially deformed; but this may have been an exceptional instance. “The Wa-Soga and Wa-Ganda dress the skins of these Antelopes very cleverly, turning them out as soft as wash-leather, and quite equal to anything that can be done in the London market.” [Illustration: Fig. 5. Front view of head of Jackson’s Hartebeest. 1/7 nat. size.] As already pointed out, the horns of _B. jacksoni_ present a very general resemblance to those of its southern ally _B. caama_, and are at once distinguishable from those of the other members of the genus by the extreme elongation of the pedicle. But the horns of _B. jacksoni_ are not quite so abruptly bent backwards as those of _B. caama_, and its head is at once distinguishable from that of the Cape species by the entire absence of black on the face. No complete specimen of the skin of _B. jacksoni_ having as yet been received, we are unable to give a coloured figure of this animal; but the accompanying woodcut (fig. 5, p. 43) represents the typical skull of this species in the British Museum. There are no other specimens of this Antelope in the National Collection, except the doubtful heads of Petherick and Bohndorff already referred to. _May, 1894._ [Illustration: THE BOOK OF ANTELOPES.
