In the British Museum the Brindled Gnu is represented by one of Burchell’s typical examples, as already mentioned, and by an adult male received from Sir Andrew Smith. Both these are mounted specimens. There are likewise a skeleton, obtained by Mr. Selous in Mashonaland in 1885, and a set of skulls and horns in the same collection. Our Plate of this animal was put on the stone by Mr. Smit from a sketch made by Mr. Wolf. For the use of the woodcut (fig. 13, p. 98), drawn by the celebrated German artist Mützel, we are indebted to the kindness of Messrs. Warne and Co., by whom it has been used in their ‘Royal Natural History’ (vol. ii. p. 314). _January, 1895._ 17. THE WHITE-BEARDED GNU. CONNOCHÆTES ALBOJUBATUS, THOS. _Catoblepas_ sp. inc., =Hengl.= Ant. u. Buff. N.O.-Afr., N. Act. Leop. xxx. pt. ii. p. 24 (1868) (Sennaar)? _Connochætes gnu_, =Hunter=, in Willoughby’s E. Afr. p. 288 (1889)? _Connochaætes taurinus albojubatus_, =Thos.= Ann. Mag. N. H. (6) ix. p. 388 (1892); =Ward=, Horn Meas. p. 75, fig. (head and skull) (1892). _Connochætes taurina_, =Lugard=, E. Afr. i. p. 540, pl. p. 530 (animal) (1893). Similar in size and coloration to _C. taurinus_, except that the general tone is paler, especially on the cheeks and rump, and the throat-mane instead of being black is of a dirty yellowish-white colour. A few whitish hairs are also intermixed with the black of the dorsal mane. The skull is shorter and broader than in _C. taurinus_, especially in the region of the muzzle, and the horns are placed further back on the head, so that the palm surpasses the back of the skull posteriorly by nearly half its breadth. The palm is also more tipped up behind away from the skull, and is much knobbier, on which account the hinder edge of the horns forms a more serpentine curve. The dimensions of the typical skull are as follows:--basal length 16 inches, greatest breadth 7·6, muzzle to eye 12·1. _Hab._ East Africa, Athi plains, Ukambani, north of Kilimanjaro, and west side of Victoria Nyanza.
