RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



DAMA GAZELLE (Gazella dama). 



Together with its northern representative, the mhorr of Morocco, 

 the dama differs from the addra by the rufous tint extending com- 

 pletely over the body and flanks, and being well defined from the 

 white of the under parts. In the present form, which is from Senegal, 

 the sides of the thighs are white, so that the rufous of the body is 

 cut off from that of the hind-legs. The height is at least 36 inches. 

 Distribution. Senegambia and adjacent districts.

MHORE or SWIFT GAZELLE (Gazella dama mhorr). 



Although commonly regarded as a distinct species, this fine but 

 somewhat leggy gazelle seems to be only a northern race of the dama 

 gazelle of Senegal ; the latter and the addra being the largest members 

 of the genus. The mhorr, as it is called by the Arabs, differs from 

 the dama by the sides of the thighs and legs being of the same rufous 

 hue as the body, instead of white. Height at shoulder at least 36 

 inches. 



Distribution. The desert districts of South-West Morocco.
