ant Ericsson at the fort the English
commissioner arranged to get the
skin and skull from the native hunt
ers, and these natives have just made
their promises good.
Measured by the skins now on the
way to the British museum, the hella-
-dotherium is as large in body as a
full-grown OK. Proportionately how
ever, its neck is not larger than that
of horse, this fact being reconciled
because of the animals withers rising
only a few inches higher than the
hind quarters. The head is large in
proportion to the body, it's outline
suggesting the head of the South
American tapir. The nostrils are two
long Sits, completely covered with
hair and resembling the nostrils of a
giraffe. The lips apparently taper to
a point. There are no front teeth in
the upper jaw, as the animal is a true
ruminant, and the front teeth in the
lower jaw are so small and feeble as
to suggest that the creature, like the
giraffe, must possess a prehensile
tongue for feeding. If this is not
the case, then the long and prehensile
lips secure most of the animals food,
which consists of leaves.
The peculiar markings of the crea-
lures skin are it's most attractive
points. The cheeks are yellowish
white and the muzzle is brown. The
forehead is vivid red, narrowing
I 49, 4. IL
along the ridge of the nose to the
nostrils. The long, asslike ears are
of deep reddish brown, with black
silky fringes. The neck, shoulders.
stomach and back are a deep reddish
brown, which in parts has almost a
crimson ttnge. The hind quarters and
hind legs, down to the hooks, and
the front legs from below the elbow
to the wrist joint are boldly striped
in purplish black and white, the white
having here and there faint touches
of orange. The hind legs from the
hook downward are of creamy col
or. The front legs are also cream
color, but bold black line runs down
the front of the leg in an oblique
manner. The fetlocks of all four feet
are black and cream color. The tail
is bright reddish brown, with a black
! tuft at the end. There are three
i horn cores similar to those of the
giraffe. BY long disuse these horn
cores have degenerated into rounded
bumps on the skull, two of them be-
| ing situated a little above the eyes
and one at the beginning of the nasal
bones.
AS to the habits of the animals,
they are found only in the densest
forests, travelling and feeding in pairs
They are timid and not easily stalked,
the natives most often taking them
in pitfalls. The flesh is excellent for
food and the natives set great store
by the skins, which are used for or
namental purposes.
