Antelopes
This name has been proposed for the form of _Lithocranius_ that
occurs in Somaliland. It is rather larger and has finer horns, as we
have stated (see our remarks, vol. iii. p. 230). It is now pointed out
that the typical form of East Africa is redder than that of Somaliland,
that it has black knee-tufts, and shows a slight difference in the
white markings of the tail.
Genus HIPPOTRAGUS. (Vol. IV. p. 3.)
Hippotragus langheldi.
_Hippotragus langheldi_, =Matsch.= SB. Ges. nat. Freund. Berlin, 1898,
p. 182.
Under this name it seems that the same geographical form is described
as that which we have called _Hippotragus equinus rufo-pallidus_
(suprà, p. 14), ex _H. rufo-pallidus_, Neumann, P. Z. S. 1898,
p. 850. The type of _H. langheldi_ is from Tabora, German East
Africa; it is diagnosed as follows:—“_H. bakeri_ affinis; colli
jubâ tricolore, subtùs albâ, supernè brunneâ nigro marginatâ; pectore
nigrescente, caudæ basi nigerrimâ.”
