ANTELOPES 109 



When an inhabited district was passed, white men and 

 natives turned out to the last man and killed until they 

 had to stop from sheer exhaustion. These migrations, 

 though less in magnitude than of yore, still occur in the 

 north-western ranges of the species. 



THE GAZELLES. Between the most northern range of 

 the springbuck and the southern limit of the typical 

 gazelles more than a thousand miles intervene, in which 

 no trace of the group is now met with. 



The typical races of Ethiopian gazelles are as follows : 



1. Grant's Gazelle, which has an extensive range 

 through German and British East Africa as far north as 

 Lake Rudolph. It is a fine-looking animal, and the rams 

 carry long and massive horns. 



2. Thomson's Gazelle, found through practically the 

 same country as the above. This is the well-known 

 " Tommy " of British East Africa. Single rams are 

 often found associated with the last species. 



3. Speke's Gazelle, of the high plateau of Somaliland. 



4. Pelzeln's Gazelle, from the lowlands of northern 

 Somaliland. 



5. Loder's Gazelle. I heard of this species as existing 

 on the plains some distance east of Gondokoro, but did 

 not succeed in seeing any. It ranges from the Sudan 

 northwards into Algeria. 



6. Isabelle Gazelle, from the countries bordering the 

 Red Sea from Massowa to Suakin. 



7. Heuglin's Gazelle, from Abyssinia, and the Blue Nile. 



8. Red-fronted Gazelle, extends across Africa from the 

 Blue Nile and its tributaries on the east to Senegal and 

 Gambia on the west. 



9. Sommerring's Gazelle, ranges through Somaliland, 

 and part of the eastern Sudan to the Abyssinian Red 

 Sea littoral.
