October 1879 the former Director of the Berlin Museum, the late Dr. Wilhelm 
Peters, gave an account of the specimens of Mammals collected in East 
Africa in 1878 by the well-known traveller Dr. G. A. Fischer. Amongst 
these were the skull and skin of a young male Gazelle obtained at Gelidja,

Skull and horns of Peters’s Gazelle, 3. 
(From one of Mr. Jackson’s specimens in the British Museum.) 
called there by the Swahilis and Wapakomos “ Sala.” Peters added to his 
paper on this subject an excellent lithographic plate of the skull and horns 
in question, which he referred, without much doubt, to Gazella granti, 
remarking, however, that the nose-spot was not well defined, and that the 
horns were straight at the base and not curved.
