G. gutturosa), present certain points of difference from the rest of the group, 
and that there was, therefore, some justification for Hodgson’s proposal of the 
generic term “ Procapra,” although we do not think it necessary to use it. 
These three species agree among themselves in the females not possessing 
horns, in the absence of anteorbital glands, and the corresponding absence 
of a fossa in the skull, in having no brushes on the knees, and in several 
other characters, which show that they are really more closely connected to 
each other than to the more typical Gazelles. Nevertheless we think that, 
on the whole, it is best to include them in the genus Gazella, as no one of 
these characters is absolutely confined to them. Thus G. subgutturosa, often, 
though wrongly, placed with them, has no horns in the female, while in 
other characters it is a true Gazella, and several species besides these three 
are without knee-brushes, while the anteorbital fossee in others are so shallow 
as to be practically non-existent. 
Soon after his discovery of the Goa, Hodgson forwarded specimens of it

to the British Museum, and the species was included in Gray’s catalogues as 
Procapra picticaudata. Under this name also Gray figured a skull and pair 
of horns of this Gazelle in 1867, in order to point out its differences from the
