1900.] FEOM NOBTH-EASTEKN AFRICA. 805 



The reasons that have induced me to consider this exceedingly- 

 handsome Eeedbuck as the true C. bolior of Euppell have been

 specimens with exact localities that have been brought to 

 England.

 number 138. Collected 6 February, 1900, and presented by 

 Dr. Donaldson Smith. 



For some time I have been aware that the Grant's Gazelle of 

 the desert country west of Lake Eudolf was not quite the same 

 as the typical East- African form; but although the Museum was 

 last year given a female skin and skull by Lieut, (now Major) 

 E. T. Bright, which were obtained in September 1898 on the 

 N.W. shore of Lake Eudolf, and later on a separate male skull 

 by Capt. J. D. Ferguson from Lumiau, on the same shore of the 

 Lake, it is only now that material sufficient to recognize it 

 definitely has been brought to Europe. As Major Bright Was the 

 first to bring an example of this Gazelle to the National Museum, 

 1 have applied his name to this form. 



Dr. Smith noticed particularly that all the specimens seen were, 

 like the type, very short-horned, that there was a prominent tuft
