OR GAZELLES. 407 



The feventh antilope is found in the Levant, 

 and ftill more commonly in Egypt * and in A- 

 rabia. We fhall call it by its Arabian name, 

 Algazel |. The figure of this animal is nearly 

 the fame with that of the other antilopes, and it 

 is about the fize of the fallow deer. But its 



horns 



* Gazella Indica cornibus retfis, longiffimis, nigris, props 

 caput tantum annularis ; cornua tres propemodum pedes 

 longa, refta, prope imum feu bafin tantum circulis feu an- 

 ' nulis eminentibus cincla, reliqua parte tota glabra et nigri- 

 cantia. Animal ipfum ad cervi platycerotis, Damae vulgo 

 difti, magnitudinem accedit, pilo cinereo, cauda pedtm cir- 

 citer longa, pilis longis innafcentibus hirta. Haec D. Tancred 

 Robin/on, e pefle animalis fuffulta in regiae focietatis mufeo 

 fufpenfa. Caeterum hujus animalis cornua pluries vidimus 

 in mufeis curiolbrum ; Rait fyn. quad. p. 79. Note. Naturaliits 

 have improperly applied the appellation of hidian antitype to 

 this fpecies. It will afterwards appear, from the evidence of 

 travellers, that it is only found in Egypt, Arabia, and the 

 Levant.
