CLARKE’S GAZELLE (Ammodorcas clarkei). 
Type—British Museum. 
When the first specimen was sent me by Mr. T. W. H. Clarke, 
he wrote as follows :—‘“ The Somali name for these antelopes is ‘ Debo 
Tag. I shot them in the new country I went into, and did not see 
them in any other part. They have a very thin long tail, and when 
running throw it up and over towards the neck. The neck is very 
long and thrown back towards the tail, so that the two look as if they 
would touch each other.”

weighed by Mr. T. W. H. Clarke. Females (less loss of blood), weighed
