Addax nasomaoixlatus addax, Lydehher, Field, vol. cxi, p. 107, 1908, 

 Game Animals of Africa, p. 303, 1908. 



Typical locality Dongola. 



Following the precedent of Sclater and Thomas in 

 the cases of Gazella leptoceros and Oryx algazel {supra,

 winter coat is shorter than in the Tunisian animal, and that 

 there is less white in the neighbourhood of the eye.
