SizE.—Total length, from tip of nose to end of tail, 4 feet ; height at 
shoulder, 1 foot 11 inches. 
This curious species was first brought to notice by Mr. Blanford. It 
is distinguished, he says, from the Indian G. Bennetti—first by colour, 
and secondly by the greater length and more strongly marked annulation 
of the horns of the female. ‘‘ The face in the Indian gazelle,” he says, 
“is nearly uniform rufescent fawn colour ; the parts that are black and 
blackish in G. fuscifrons being only a little darker than the rest in 
G. Bennetti ; the back also in the latter is more rufescent and less yellow, 
and the hairs are less dense.” 
The following two species belong to section &, of which the females 
are hornless. : 
No. 458. GAZELLA SUBGUTTEROSA.

NativE Names.—&7k, Sai-kik, and /Jairan, Turki of Yarkand and 
Kashgar (Blanford). 
Hasirat.—The high lands of Persia ; to the north-west it is found 
Gazella subgutterosa. 
as far as Tabriz ; it is probably, according to Blanford, the gazelle ‘of 
Meshed and Herat; on the east it extends to the frontier of India, and 
is found in Afghanistan and northern Baluchistan ; a variety also exists 
in Yarkand.
