not live long in captivity, but after its death Sclater, with Mr. F. E. Beddard’s 
kind assistance, was able to examine the specimen more closely. It exhibited 
a slight protuberance on the nose, as shown in the figure (fig. 64), which by 
the kindness of the Zoological Society we are enabled to reproduce on the 
present occasion. Underneath the skin of the nose was a slight cavity, which 
was easily inflated into a protuberance by blowing air into the nostrils. But 
dissection, which was carried out by Mr. Beddard, revealed no trace of any 
glandular structure.

Head of young male Speke’s Gazelle. 
(P. Z. 8. 1897, p. 920.) 
The collection of the British Museum contains a good mounted example 
of this Gazelle (procured from Herr Menges, and originally obtained from 
Gerbatir in Somaliland), from which the coloured figure (Plate LXI.) has 
been prepared by Mr. Smit. There is likewise in the Museum a good series 
of skins and skulls from different places in Somaliland collected and presented 
by Mr. T. W. H. Clarke, Capt. H. G. C. Swayne, R.E., Col. Arthur Paget, 
and Mr. Ford G. Barclay. From one of these our figure (p. 128) of a good 
adult head of this Gazelle has been prepared by Mr.Smit; while that of the 
female (p. 129) has been drawn from a mounted head kindly lent to us 
for that purpose by Mr. Frederick Gillett, F.Z.S. 
May, 1898.
