CLARKE’S GAZELLE (Ammodorcas clarket) 
Native name, Dibatag or Diptag 
The Dibatag was first shot by Mr. T. W. H. Clarke in 1891 
during his trip to the Dolbahanta and Marehdn countries, far 
fto the south-east of 
’ Berbera. Just a week 
after his specimens had 
been sent to England, 
I bought in Berbera 
two pairs of horns with 
the face-skins attached, 
and sent them to Dr. 
Sclater believing them 
to belong to a new 
antelope; but by this 
time Mr. Clarke’s speci- 
mens had been examined 
by Mr. Thomas, who de-

The Dibatag is com-

discovered it, a few 
have been shot by sports- 
men in the eastern parts 
of the Haud.
