SENEGAL or EED-FEONTED GAZELLE (Gazella rufifrons). 

 El Hamra of the Dinkas. 



This medium-sized and rather stoutly built species agrees with 

 Heuglin's gazelle in the black flank-stripe, but differs by the absence 

 of a distinct inward hooking of the tips of the horns ; the general 

 colour being deep sandy rufous, brightening into rich rufous on the 

 forehead and muzzle, without a black nose-spot. The knee-tufts so 

 generally present in gazelles are wanting ; and the tail, with the excep- 

 tion 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 and Gambia.
