274 RECORDS OF BIG GAME 
Head of Addra Gazelle. 
The DAMA, MHORR, or ADDRA GAZELLE (Gazella dama). 
Addra, Dongolese. zé/, Dinka. Arzel, Sudani. 
The largest species of the genus Gazel/a, standing 36 or 37 inches 
at the shoulder, and characterised by the white of the rump including 
the tail (which may be tipped with fawn), coupled with the absence of 
a black border to the rump-patch and of a dark flank-band, and the 
forward hook of the tips of the horns. In the mhorr or Morocco race 
(G. ad. mhorr) of Southern Morocco there are dark face-markings, and 
the rufous of the body extends down the legs. In the Senegambian 
G. d. permista the rufous occupies a smaller area on the body, and 
there is only a narrow bridge connecting the rufous of the back with 
that of the hind-legs, while in the fore-legs the upper part is wholly 
white, and there is only a rufous streak in front below the knee. The 
typical G. ad. typica, probably from Lake Chad, connects the mhorr 
with the addra or Kordofan race (G. @. rujficollis), in which the rufous 
is limited to the neck and a saddle-shaped area on the back. 
Distribution.—The desert regions of northern, western, and north- 
eastern Africa, from Nigeria and Senegambia through Morocco to 
Kordofan.
