DAMA GAZELLE (Gazella dama). 



Together with its northern representative the mhorr of Morocco, 

 the dama differs from the addra by the rufous tint extending completely 

 over the body and flanks, and being well defined from the white of 

 the under-parts. In the present form, which is from Senegal, the sides 

 of the thighs are white, so that the rufous of the body is cut off from 

 that of the hind-legs. The height is at least 3 5 inches. 



Distribution. Senegambia and adjacent districts.

MHORR or SWIFT GAZELLE (Gazella dama mhorr). 



Although commonly regarded as a distinct species, this fine but 

 somewhat leggy gazelle seems to be only a northern race of the dama 

 gazelle of Senegal, which is the largest member of the genus. The 

 mhorr, as it is called by the Arabs, differs from the dama by the sides 

 of the thighs and legs being of the same rufous hue as the body, instead 

 of white. Height at shoulder at least 34^- inches. 



Distribution. The desert districts of South- West Morocco.
