The BONGO (Bobcercus euryceros). This magnificent antelope, which comes next in point of size tothe eland and kudu, was long considered a member of the bushbuckgroup, with which it agrees in the general type of colouring. Itdiffers, however, in that the tail is tufted (like that of an elandj, andalso by the presence of horns in both sexes, and some white marks onthe legs ; the front of the face being brown, with a tawny patch roundeach eye. The general colour of the coat is bright chestnut-red, markedwith a number of narrow vertical white stripes, a white crescent on thebreast, a white chevron on the forehead, and two white spots beloweach eye. In old bulls the coat becomes mahogany-colour. Thereis no dewlap, throat-fringe, or frontal tuft, and the hair is short. Iheworn tips of the horns are yellow. Height about 4 feet. 326 RECORDS OF BIG GAME Distrib
