The MONGOLIAN GAZELLE (Gazella gutturosa). 
Hwang-yang, Mongolian. 
Belonging to the same group of the genus as the goa, this much 
larger species takes its name from the swollen condition of the throat 
of the bucks during the pairing-season. In addition to its size (height 
at shoulder about 30 inches), it is characterised by the comparatively 
slight backward curvature of the light brown horns, which are relatively 
small and not hooked at the tips; the general colour of the upper- 
parts and fronts of the legs in summer being pale fawn, with the front 
of the face light brown, and the white of the rump reaching to the 
sides of the short tail. The ears are relatively small. 
Distribution.—Northern and Eastern Mongolia, the southern borders of 
Russian Transbaikalia. This gazelle was named by the Russian 
traveller Pallas in 1777.
