 f. 3. 



Hair very short and smooth. Central facial band rich bay above, 

 darker below, forming a nose-spot ; light facial streak very strongly 

 marked, running from the base of the horn over the eye, stopping 

 just below the nose-spot ; dark facial streak distinct, blackish ; 

 breast and belly white ; dark lateral and pygal bands grizzly 

 brown ; light lateral band grizzly fawn ; upper parts of the sides 

 and back rich grizzled bay in adult specimens, the younger animals 

 being greyer. Knee-brushes well developed, blackish ; tail black. 

 Horns massive, the annulations wide apart, diverging gradually for 

 two thirds their length, the upper third diverging more decidedly 

 and leaning a little forwards. Ears moderate. Size about equal to 

 that of Gazella dorcas. 



Hub. South Arabia. 



The above description was taken from the type specimens in the 

 Berlin Museum, and applies fairly well to all the specimens from 

 South Arabia which I have had an opportunity of examining. In 

 comparison with the Gazelles from North Arabia, mentioned in my 

 remarks upon Gazella dorcas, specimens from the south can be 

 always distinguished by their stronger markings, richer colour, and 

 straight non-lyrate horns.
