Head of Addra Gazelle, shot by Prince Henry of Liechtenstein. 



RED-NECKED or ADDEA GAZELLE (Gazella ruficollis). 

 Ricl of the Dinkas. 



The two species of the genus Gazella just mentioned are not only 

 the largest of the tribe, but are distinguished from all their relatives 

 by the white of the rump extending on to the tail (which is either 

 wholly white or merely tipped with fawn) coupled with the complete 

 absence of a black band between the white of the rump-patch and 

 the fawn of the body ; the horns being hooked upwards and forwards, 

 and not distinctly inwards. In the present species, which measures 

 about 36 or 37 inches at the shoulder, the neck and front portion 

 of the back alone display a distinctly rufous tint, the line of division 

 between the fawn and the white being obscure. The whole of the 

 hind-quarters are pure white. 



Distribution. Kordofan and Sennar.
