length from muzzle to orbit 3^| inches (99 mm.). Length 

 of horns 9^ inches (241 mm.), girth 4-^% inches (108 mm.). 



From arabica, to which there is a certain resemblance in 

 the set and curvature of the horns, this species is dis- 

 tinguished by its larger size ; being in fact intermediate in 

 this respect between cuvieri and arahica. Sclater and 

 Thomas, who identified it with G. dorcas, regarded Antilope 

 gazdla, Pallas (1766), as a synonym of CaiJra gazella, Linn. 

 (= Oryx gazella), but this view is rejected by 0. Neumann ; 

 see Oryx gazella, infra, p. 119.
