Heuglin's and Red-Fronted Gazelle 351 



Heuglin's Gazelle {Gazella tilonurd) 



Tigre Name, Tel-Badu 



This rare and little-known species is at present identified only from 

 land, Abyssinia. The general colouring is " deep sandy," the central 

 face band only slightly darker than the rest of the body-colour. A dark 

 lateral band along the flanks. Under parts and a space round the eyes 

 white. The horns are lyrate, strongly incurved in the males — somewhat 

 like a springbok's — and measure as much as n^ inches over the curve. 

 The range of this gazelle appears to be on elevated plains, more or less 

 bushy, from 3000 to 5000 feet above sea-level. h # A. Bryden. 



Red-Fronted Gazelle {Gazella rujifrons) 



Gambia Native Name, Sent 



This is a West African gazelle, found in Senegal and Gambia, and is 

 sometimes known as the Senegal gazelle. It is rather a heavily built 

 animal, compared with its many fairy-like congeners. Height at shoulder 

 about 24 inches. General colour bright sandy rufous, the legs paler. 

 Belly white, and a white facial streak with darkish streaks beneath. The 

 knee-tufts, so commonly seen in gazelles, are absent. Horns strongly 

 ringed, stout, divergent, and curving backwards and upwards. The 

 longest recorded pair measure 10^ inches, 6| inches from tip to tip. 

 Examples of this species are, or were, lately living in the London Zoolo- 

 gical Society's Gardens. A very handsome species. -^ ^ Bryden.
