on 
the Persian Gulf, and accordingly entered it in the Society’s Register* under 
that name. This animal, however, which is still living in the Society’s 
Gardens, is undoubtedly a female of the present species. On reference to 
the late Theodore Bent’s paper on the Bahrein Islands (P. R. G. S. xii. p. 8, 
1890) it will be found stated that on the desert which occupies the greater 
part of the largest island of the group “a small Gazelle is abundant,” and is 
often hunted by the Bahreini Arabs with hawk and hounds. There can be 
little doubt that this Gazelle is G. marica. 
Our illustration of the Marica Gazelle (Plate LVI.) has been taken by 
Mr. Smit from the typical specimen from Nejd in the British Museum, and 
represents an adult male. 
January, 1898.
