Other specimens, mostly from the same country, were received in sub- 
sequent years*. The examples of this animal just spoken of as being 
the first to arrive in England formed the subjects of a beautiful drawing by 
Mr. Wolf, a coloured lithograph taken from which has been published in the 
first volume of Wolf and Sclater’s ‘ Zoological Sketches’ (plate xxii.). 
Our figures of this species for the present work (Plate LV.) have been 
prepared by Mr. Smit from the descendants of the animals brought by 
Dr. Aitchison from Northern Persia, now living in the Society’s Gardens. 
The series of specimens of this species in the British Museum comprises a 
skull from near Ispahan in Persia, presented by Dr. W. T. Blanford, F.RS. ; 
a head-skin and some horns from Gulran and Galicha, on the Afghan frontier, 
collected by Dr. Aitchison during the Afghan Boundary Commission ; 
and some skins and skulls from the Saiar Mountains, Altai, presented by 
Mr. St. George Littledale. There are likewise a skin from the River Aksu, in 
Chinese Turkestan, presented by Major C. S. Cumberland, and several fine 
skulls and pairs of horns from the plains of Yarkand, obtained by the late 
Mr. Dalgleish, and presented to the Museum by Mr. A. C. Hume, C.B. All 
these last-named specimens represent the Yarkand subspecies, Gazella 
subgutturosa yarkandensis.
