Gunthorpe in the Binder Valley—a tributary of the Blue Mle—one agrees with a typical cottoni, a second is clearly a donaldsoni, and the third of an intermediate type. These specimens, in conjunction with a fourth given to the writer. Fig. 26.—Head op Sudani Bohor Reedbuck {Bedunca redunca cottoni), from Mongalla. Length of horns 16 inches, girth 5 inches, tip-to-tip interval 23J' inches. by Colonel Gunthorpe, show that these two supposed races are inseparable. In the writer's specimen the interval between the horn-tips is only 6 J inches, whereas in specimens from the Binder and Blue Nile valleys catalogued in the sixth edition of Ward's Records of Big Game, this interval ranges from 15 to 18 inches. The range extends from Kordofan, the White Nile, and the Isle of Meroe to the east of Lado and western Somaliland. 1. 8. 8. 42. Skull, with horns, and skin. Kaka, White Nile, Sudan. Presented hj R.
