The Indian Gazelle is frequently brought to Europe alive, though it is not 
so common in our menageries as Gazella dorcas, G. subgutturosa, and some 
other species. According to the Zoological Society’s books, the first examples 
were received in 1838, and since 1860, as will be seen by the printed lists, 
about twelve specimens have been exhibited. A pair presented by Capt. 
H. J. Hope Edwards, in April 1883, bred, and the female gave birth to 
a young one in November of that year; but, like other Gazelles, this species 
does not usually thrive in the dull climate of England. 
As is the case with many common animals, the British Museum does not 
contain a good series of this Gazelle, and specimens with exact localities from 
all parts of its range are much required. Besides the old mounted examples 
from the Deccan presented by Col. Sykes and already alluded to, it possesses 
only a skin from Sind received from the Karachi Museum, and several skulls 
and pairs of horns from the Salt Range of the Punjab and Kelat, received in 
the Hume Collection. 
Our figures of this species (Plate LX.) have been prepared by Mr. Smit— 
the male from the skin received from the Karachi Museum, and the female 
from Col. Sykes’s specimen. 
January, 1898.
