ANTILOPIN^ 61 



horns and a white forehead. General colour pale fawn ; 

 fawn face-streaks nearly obsolete, when distinguishable, not 

 darker than general body-colour and but slightly defined 

 from intervening white streaks ; ears long, whitish fawn on 

 the backs ; pale flank-band practically obsolete, and the dark 

 one, as well as that on front border of rump-patch, pale 

 brown and scarcely deeper in tint than the geneial colour, 

 into which it merges ; liniljs mainly whitish, the fawn being 

 restricted to the front surface of the fore-legs as far as the 

 knees, and to the outer side of the lund-legs to some distance 

 below the hocks. Basal length of skull 6^, maximum width 

 S-^Q, length from muzzle to orbit 3^ inches. 



In the Book of Antelopes (although not in the original 

 description) this species is stated, apparently on account of 

 the slight development of the face-markings, to be related to 

 G. subguttiirosa, to which, however, it seems to have no real 

 affinity, the females having horns and the males apparently 

 lacking a goitre. The range includes the desert tract from 

 Nejd to western Oman.
