RECORDS OF BIG GAME 



SENEGAL or KED-FRONTED GAZELLE (Gazella rufifrons). 



This medium-sized and rather stoutly built species agrees with 

 Heuglin's gazelle in the black flank-stripe, but differs by the absence 

 of a distinct inward hooking of the tips of the horns ; the general 

 colour being deep sandy rufous, brightening into rich rufous on the 

 forehead and muzzle, without a black nose-spot. The knee-tufts so 

 generally present in gazelles are wanting ; and the tail, with the excep- 

 tion of the sandy upper surface of the basal portion, is black. Horns 

 relatively small, regularly divergent, curving at first slightly back- 

 wards and then forwards, heavily ridged till the terminal two or three 

 inches.
