* Gazelles and Dwarf Antelopes 



Xow and again one finds them living amicably and 

 sociably with other kinds of animals. For days I have 

 observed a single buck in company with a female gerenuk 

 gazelle and an old bull. 



I have never noticed these dwarf gazelles on the left 

 bank of the Pangani River, but have frequently found them 

 elsewhere. Xear Xakuro and Flmenteita Lake-, in the 

 British district, I have; se-en them in thousands. In 

 August I found newly born calve;s, and at the same; time 

 very small e-mbryos. The dwarf gazelles are a great 

 ornament to the Salt and Xatron districts in the far Xyika. 

 It is to be; hoped that the vclt will long afford a refuge 

 both to them anel to the beautiful Grant's gazelle. 



There are two othe;r similar kinds of gazelle found 

 in Africa, which are among the most remarkable of the 

 species to be; seen in these desert placets. Imagine an 

 extremely slender and graceful miniature; horned giraffe, 

 coloured a uniform brown, given to raising itself on 

 its hind-legs like; a goat, so as to eat the le-aves of 

 bushes and trees. The males are adorned with peculiarly 

 shaped horns ; the tc;males are without. < >ne kind, 

 Clarke s gazelle (Aiumoi'dorcas clarkci}. has so tar only 

 been found in quite confined portions of Somahlanel. 

 I he other species, which is very similar, the gerenuk 

 gazelle (Litliocranins u } a//cri,}> has a far more extensive 

 range, and, according to my own observations, is to be 

 found far away in the velt of German Fast Africa. 

 I his gazelle, known by the \Vaswahili under the name, of 

 nioggo-nyogga, by the Masai as nanjab, and the \\ando- 

 robo as moile, was first dehnitelv located bv me in
