Further to the south, in the valley of the Chobé and Upper Zambesi, _T. scriptus_ is again met with, but under a modified form, which may for the present be regarded as a distinct subspecies. This animal was first discovered by Mr. Chapman on the Botletlie River, and subsequently on the Chobé by Mr. Selous, who described it in his ‘Hunter’s Wanderings’ and in the Zoological Society’s ‘Proceedings’ for 1881. Mr. Selous, in response to an inquiry on this point, kindly informs us that he has never seen a skin either of adult or young of the Chobé Bushbuck marked with an upper longitudinal white stripe; and we learn from his published observations on this animal, and from the skins of it that are now in the British Museum, that the females and young are much less strongly striped and spotted with white than are the adult males. This does not appear to be the case as regards the typical _T. scriptus_; and although the entire absence of the upper white band in the form from the Chobé suggests the possibility of identity between it and the form from the Congo, we know nothing of the characters of the females and young of the latter to justify us in assigning the name _phaleratus_ to the subspecies first figured and described by Mr. Selous. The animal for which we propose to adopt Mr. Pocock’s name _T. scriptus ornatus_ may be described as follows:— _Male adult._ General characters as in _T. scriptus_. Height at withers of adult male about 28 inches. Colour dark red, with as many as seven or eight transverse white stripes, about six white spots on the shoulders, and as many as twenty on the hind- quarters, and a line of white spots passing longitudinally above the belly. Belly, chest, and limbs on outer side down to knees and hocks blackish. Face deep greyish fawn, with very faint white eye- spots. A dorsal crest of long white hairs extending from the shoulder to the root of the tail. _Young male._ Pale reddish yellow, with spots and stripes much more faintly marked. _Female._ Smaller than male, chestnut in colour, marked with only three or four faint white stripes and with fewer spots than in the other sex; belly reddish yellow, paler than the sides of the body; outer side of limbs chestnut above and below the knees and hocks. _Young female._ Lighter red and less spotted than adult.
