THE M HORB. 209 



three animals are exactly in the same state as other 

 three of the same group, which we shall next no- 

 tice. There is an uncertainty whether they are 

 distinct or only local varieties, or races of the same, 

 and until authentic specimens of each from the dif- 

 ferent countries can be procured and compared, 

 they will remain so. The other three which we al- 

 luded to, may be noticed under the M'horr Antelope 

 of Mr Bennet, the Nanguer of F. Cuvier and Ruppel, 

 and the Addra. These have been brought from va 

 rious districts of Africa, and are closely allied in 

 form and colour. Mr Bennet thus describes the Ga- 

 zella M'horr : " The form of the M'horr is light and 

 elegant; its neck is long and slender; its tail of mo- 

 derate length ; its limbs extremely slender and deli- 

 cate, and its hoofs short, pointed, and form a rather 

 acute angle at their anterior margin. The head tapers 

 uniformly with a face moderately prolonged, suborhi- 

 tal sinus of small extent, and its naked muzzle limit- 

 ed to a narrow border round the nostrils, which is 

 prolonged in a middle line as far as the margin of the 

 upper lip. The horns are black, imbedded at their 

 base in long hairs, and marked in this individual with 

 eight complete, rather distinct, well defined rings, 

 and one or two incomplete ones, which occupy about 

 two-thirds of their entire length, the remainder to 

 wards the points being perfectly smooth and shin 

 ins:.* 



Thf colour of the upper parts is a deep fulvous a. 



In a living specimen the number of rings is eleven.
