drawing of the typical specimen prepared by Smit, which has much assisted 
us in our study of it. It is obviously a larger and more richly coloured 
animal than G. rujfifrons, and its skull, of which, by the kindness of the 
Zoological Society, we are enabled to give the figure that originally appeared 
in their ‘ Proceedings’ (fig. 73, p. 168), is remarkable for its stout and heavy 
build and short nasal opening. The only conjecture we can make respecting 
this somewhat problematical species is that it may possibly be the same as 
Gazella levipes of Sundevall and Heuglin from North-east Africa, of which 
we have spoken in our article on Gazella rufifrons. It may be remarked 
that Sundevall, in his account of Antilope levipes (K. Vet.-Akad. Handl. 
1845), has noted the existence, in the Paris Museum, of specimens from 
Algeria of a Gazelle which he considers identical with his species, form « 
(from Sennaar), and which he separates from form (from Senegal) on account 
of the want of the blackish nose-spot. But even if such shall turn out 
eventually to be the case, the present species will still retain the name 
“ rufina,’—* levipes,” as we have already pointed out, being correctly treated 
of as a synonym of G. rufifrons. 
Sir Edmund Loder has most liberally presented the typical specimen of 
Gazella rufina to the British Museum.
