Dr. W. T. Blanford, who accompanied the British Abyssinian Expedition 
of 1867-68 as naturalist, found this Antelope abundant on the coast of the 
Red Sea near Annesley Bay and Massowah, but states that it never ascends 
the hills. It was met with principally in the low bush and acacia-scrub in 
herds varying in size from a few individuals up to one hundred or more. A 
very large number, he adds, were shot by the sportsmen of the Expedition, 
who found the flesh excellent eating.

which were made by the Swedish traveller Hedenborg in Sennaar, but the
