At Njemps I shot the largest buck out of a herd of thirty, in which there were three or 
four other bucks. It was an old beast, in good condition, but only weighed 135 lbs. 
with horns 20 inches. To show the differences in size I append some measurements

Dr. Donaldson Smith has recorded the existence of this Gazelle “in 
great numbers ” all along his route homewards from Lake Rudolph on the 
northern bank of the Tana. But these animals may possibly have belonged 
to the next species Gazella petersi. Dr. Donaldson Smith also met with 
Grant’s Gazelle in the Boran country “a little west of 39° W.L.,” and found

Mr. W. Carlisle Fraser, and several skulls and skins of different ages from
