There is a male and female in the Frankfort Museum ; they are 

 smaller than A. Gazella of the Cape, and both have the face-streaks 

 separate : there is a black streak on the throat, as in A. Gazella, but 

 no bunch, nor is there any in the Frankfort specimen of A. Gazella : 

 the mane of the nape of the male is small, indistinct, continued behind 

 in a broader dark streak to the middle of the loins. In the male the 

 mane is blackish, in the female like the back. They have no dark 

 mark on the rump, found in A. Gazella.
