Head of White Oryx. 
The WHITE ORYX (Oryx leucoryx). 
Abi harb, Sudani. 
A very distinct species of the genus, agreeing approximately in size 
with the beisa, but with long recurving scimitar-shaped horns and a 
generally whitish colouring, showing a more or less distinct chestnut 
tinge. The chestnut is developed on the neck, shoulders, under-parts, 
upper portions of the limbs, and the face; the last corresponding very 
closely with the dark markings of the beisa in their arrangement. 
It has been proposed to transfer the name O. leucoryx to the pre- 
ceding species, and to term the present one O, algazael. 
Distribution—North-Western Central Africa, from Nigeria to Sennar, 
Kordofan, and parts of Nubia and the Sudan generally.
