The M’horr is regarded in the kingdom of Marocco as an exceedingly rare animal, 
and Mr. Willshire states that the one earliest obtained by him was the first individual 
of the race which had been seen in Mogadore. It is highly esteemed, according to 
Mr. Drummond Hay, on account of its producing the bezoars, so precious in oriental 
medicine, and which are known in Marocco as the Baid-al-Mhorr, or Eggs of the 
Morr. Mr. Hay conjectures that Baid-Mhorr may possibly be the source whence, 
rather than from the Persian Pazahar, the name of Bezoar hassprung. It is pretended 
that two of these calculous concretions are met with in the intestines of every individual 
of the race; but none were found in that which died in the Society’s collection, and 
which, as is stated by Mr. Spooner and Mr. Langstaff, who examined it after death, 
agreed in its visceral anatomy with the Antelopes in general. Mr. Spooner’s notes of 
this examination are published in the Proceedings of the Society.
