. The book of antelopes. Antelopes. 208 horns of what he calls the Central-African Eland, of two very different forms. Schweinfurth states that the skin is plainly striped, and that this is certainly no mark of youth, because he has seen very old examples which had about Fig. 117. Horns of Taurotragus oryx gigas. (Heuglin, Ant. u. Buff. pi. i. fig. 2.) fifteen narrow parallel stripes, about a finger in breadth, on both sides. It is quite evident, therefore, that the Eland of this part of Africa belongs to the striped form. It may be identical with T. o. livingstonii, but, as Heuglin.
