Vernacutar Name :—Dzéren of Mongols (Przewalski)—applied to all the Gazelles 
of Central Asia. 
Size rather greater than in G. picticaudata. General colour deep fawn in 
summer, pale finely grizzled fawn in winter. Sides of neck (at least in 
winter) and top of muzzle slaty brown; no ordinary gazelline face-markings. 
Ears short, acutely pointed *; coloured like the back. Rump with the white of 
the anal region running up on to the upper surface, divided in its centre by 
a narrow fawn-coloured line running from the back on to the tail. Tail very 
short, hidden in the fur; fawn along its top, inconspicuously pale brown at 
its tip. Front of limbs more or less brownish ; no knee-tufts. 
Skull short and stoutly built. No anteorbital fosse. Nasals broad and 
short; premaxille not reaching up to the latter, the nasal opening unusually 
large and broad. Basal length of an adult male 7 inches, greatest 
breadth 3:8, muzzle to orbit 4. 
Horns of median length and thickness, much compressed laterally ; with 
the exception of their terminal two inches, they are evenly curved backwards 
* Owing to the Plate having been drawn from winter skins, in which the ears are thickly 
covered with hair, this character is not properly shown in the figures.
