MONGOLIAN GAZELLE (Gazella gutturosa). 

 Jaeisiv or Sava-keek in Turkestan. Hwang-yang in Mongolia. 



Belonging to the same group of the genus as the goa, this larger 

 species takes its scientific title from the peculiar swollen condition of 

 the throat of the male during the pairing season. In addition to its 

 size (height at shoulder about 30 inches), the species is characterised 

 by the comparatively slight backward curvature of the horns, which are 

 not hooked at the tips ; the general colour being pale fawn, with the 

 rump, flanks, and the whole of the limbs white. 

 Distribtition. Northern and Eastern Mongolia, part of Turkestan, and 



the southern borders of Russian Transbaikalia. This gazelle was 



discovered by the Russian traveller Pallas, who described it so long 



ago as the year 1777.
