HEUGLIN'S GAZELLE (Gazella tilonura). 



This well-marked species brings us to a small sub-group in which 

 the dark band on the flanks is very strongly defined, and black in 

 colour ; the present species being distinguished from its allies by the 

 abrupt inward hooking of the tips of the horns. The general colour is 

 deep sandy, with the central face-band but little darker than the back, 

 no black nose-spot, and the tail sandy at the base but black elsewhere. 

 Height at shoulder about 27 inches. 



Distribution. — Bogosland, in North-Eastern Africa. Very little is 

 known of this rare species.
