Two years later, in July 1875, a female example of this Antelope was 
obtained alive for the Zoological Society’s Menagerie; and in the following 
year, in October, a fine pair of the Tora was purchased by the Society for 
the sum of £100, of Mr. Carl Hagenbeck, the well-known dealer of Hamburg. 
These animals had been obtained along with others from the Arabs of Upper 
Nubia and brought out vé Kassala and Suakim by Mr. Hagenbeck’s agents. 
Other specimens of the Tora from the same source reached several zoological 
gardens on the Continent about the same date; but we believe that they have 
one and all disappeared, and, so far as we know, the Tora is no longer to be 
seen anywhere in captivity. 
There is a good pair of this Antelope in the Gallery of the British Museum 
mounted from skins stated to have been procured at Dembelas, in Northern 
Abyssinia. There are also a skeleton and other specimens from the same 
locality in the National Collection. 
May, 1894.
