THE M'HORR. 211 



in length. The length of this animal from the nose 

 to the base of the tail is 4 feet 2 inches, height at the 

 shoulder 2 feet 6 inches. Another specimen was 

 5 feet 1 inch long, and at the shoulders 2 feet 11 

 inches high." 



In the colouring of these three animals, " the dor- 

 sal fawn of the Nanguer extends along the back and 

 sides, nearly as far backwards and downwards as in 

 the M'horr; while in the young, as well as aduk 

 Addra, it gradually becomes narrower and fainter as 

 it passes backwards from the lower part of the neck, 

 leaving not only the haunches and the crupper, but 

 also the greater part of the sides, white. In M. 

 Ruppel's work there is also figured and describ- 

 ed a short longitudinal fawn-coloured streak on the 

 haunches, which is equally wanting in the Nanguer 

 and M'horr. In the former of these the haunches 

 are wholly unmarked, the dorsal colour being cut off 

 posteriorly in nearly a straight line, extending from 

 the back downwards ; while in the latter, as we have 

 seen, they are nearly covered by a broad somewhat 

 triangular patch continued from the sides, extending 

 down the hinder leg, and bounded above by a white 

 etreak, which is continuous with the white of the 

 crupper." 



The M'horr is found in Western Africa, in the ter- 

 ritories of the -Sheikh of Wedroow ; the Nanguer in 

 Senegal ; and the Addra in Nubia and Kerdofon. 



The first is esteemed rare by the natives, and much 

 sought after in producing the bezoars.
