Appendix 275 



(5) Goitred gazelle Gr. subgutturosa. 



Size, small, 24 to 26 inches ; ears short ; females horn- 

 less ; dark lateral band, faint. 



(6) Marica gazelle Gr. marica. 



Ears taller ; females horned ; dark lateral band, distinct. 



The African edmi, and probably the Syrian Merrill's 

 gazelle, come in the first group. The Mongolian G. guttu- 

 rosa is a larger member of the last group, distinguished 

 by the small size and peculiar form of the horns of the 

 bucks, which do not diverge after the fashion of subguttu- 

 rosa. The Central Asia Gr. przewalskii is another allied 

 type.

By the courtesy of Major R L. Kennion, I am enabled 

 to reproduce a photograph 1 of a couple of specimens 

 of a new gazelle recently discovered by him in the 

 Seistan province of Persia, and described by myself in 

 'Nature' (vol. Ixxxiii., page 201, 1910) under the name 

 of Gazella seistanica this, so far as I am aware, being the 

 first portrait of the species published. Here I may take 

 the opportunity of mentioning my regret that I was un- 

 able to name this species after its discoverer ; but it 

 unfortunately happened that I bestowed the name of 

 G-azella Jcennioni on a second species of gazelle brought 

 by Major Kennion from the Kain district, to the north 

 of Seistan, which subsequently turned out to be identical 

 with one from the same region previously described by 

 the late Dr W. T. Blanford as Gr. fuscifrons. Accordingly, 

 by the rules of zoological nomenclature, not only must 

 the earlier title have the preference, but the use of the 

 name kennioni in another sense is barred for all time.
