246 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
The GOITRED GAZELLE (Gazella subgutturosa). 
Related to the Mongolian species, but distinguished by its smaller 
size, longer tail of which the upper surface is crested with black, and 
the presence of dark and light markings on the face. These face- 
markings differ, however, from those of other species, except G. marica 
of Arabia, in that the upper portion of the face is white, so that the 
central dark band is interrupted on the forehead. Horns are absent 
in the female, and those of the males are relatively larger and more 
divergent than in gu¢turosa. The rump-patch extends to the root of the 
tail, and the ears are small. Height at shoulder from 24 to 25 inches. 
The larynx is swollen, forming a prominence on the front of the upper 
part of the throat of the bucks. The Marica gazelle is larger, with 
horns in the female. 
There are two races of this gazelle, the Caspian and Persian G. 
typica, and the Altai G. s. sazrensis, in which the size is large, but the 
horns are relatively small. 
Distribution—Western Asia from Asia Minor and Caucasia in the 
west to Persia and the Altai.
