Skull and Horns of Red-fronted Gazelle. 
The KORIN or RED-FRONTED GAZELLE (Gazella rufifrons). 
Senz, Gambian. El Hamra, Dinka. 
This medium-sized and rather stoutly built species agrees with 
Heuglin’s gazelle in the narrow dark brown flank-band, but differs by 
the absence of a distinct inward hooking of the tips of the horns. 
The general colour of the upper-parts is deep sandy rufous, brightening 
into rich rufous on the forehead and face, where there is no nose-spot. 
Knee-tufts, so generally present in gazelles, are wanting, and the tail, 
with the exception of the sandy upper surface of the basal portion, is 
black. Horns relatively small, regularly divergent, curving at first 
slightly backwards and then forwards, heavily ridged till the terminal 
two or three inches. 
Distribution.—Senegal, Gambia, Northern Nigeria, Kordofan, and White 
Nile, to Northern Uganda. The typical race is from Gambia and 
Nigeria; the eastern race is distinguished as G. 7. salmz, and the 
one from the Mongala district of the White Nile as G. rv. albonotata.
