Typical locality Senegambia. 



Type in Berlin Museum. 



General coloration very like that of mhorr, but the rufous 

 area more restricted, the white of rump extending forwards 

 along sides in the form of a wedge, so as to leave only a 

 naiTOw bridge connecting rufous of back with that of thigh ; 

 upper part of fore-legs wholly white, but front surface below 

 knees rufous; rufous dorsal area smaller than in mhorr, 

 extending only halfway down sides of body ; whole nasal 

 region white, only a faint dark (not black) streak, which may 

 be absent, below eye, and merely a few rufous hairs between 

 horns. In examples lacking the dark eye-stripe nearly the 

 entire head is white. In a specimen in the Tring Museum 

 the horns measure 8J inches in length, with a girth of 3^, 

 and a tip-to-tip interval of 5| inches. 



No example in collection. 



The specimen to which the following name has been 

 given may be inseparable from this race : 



Gazella mhorr reducta, Heller, Sitzber. Ges. Isis, 1906, p. 15, 1907. 

 Oazella dama reducta, Lydekker, Game Animals of Africa, p. 271, 

 1908. 



Founded on a menagerie specimen, without definite 

 locality, and stated to be intermediate between dama dama 

 and d. mhorr, but nearer to the latter, from which it differs 

 by the smaller horns, the brighter rufous and smaller extent of 

 the coloured area, and the nearly white head, which is fawn 

 only at the back and blackish at the base of the horns. 



D. Gazella dama ruficollis.
