From Thomas, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1904. species is distinguished by its somewhat inferior size and smaller and rather differently curved horns. Coat, general colour, and colour-pattern as in cuvieri; 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 citvieri). Skull smaller than in that species, with the premaxillfe stopping short of the nasals, instead of forming a broad articulation with them ; basal length 5| inches (170 mm.), maximum width 3J (88 mm.),.
