Abstract
THE British Museum has just received a series of skins of a new Bubale from Abyssinia called Tora. It is like the Hartibeest for having a white patch on the rump, and white inside the ears, but it is without any black on the face or on the outer side of the limbs. It is of a bright pale bay colour, with black tuft on the tail, and the horns are much more slender than in the Hartibeest. I propose to call it Alcephalus tora.
