lateral bands present, nor pygal bands. White of belly extending rather 
high up on the sides, the line of white passing across the outer sides of the 
forearms on to the chest, where it contrasts conspicuously with the dark red 
of the neck. White of rump much as in G. soemmerringi, including the 
tail, and extending angularly forwards on each side into the body-colour, 
but not uniting with the belly-colour across the outer sides of the thighs. 
All the boundary-lines between the rufous and white well defined. Knee- 
brushes small. ‘Tail white, a small brownish or fawn-coloured tuft at its 
extremity. 
Horns of male thick, strongly bent backwards below, recurved upwards 
and forwards above. 
Female. Similar to the male, but horns shorter and thinner. 
Hab. South-western Morocco. 
The last species of the group, and also of the genus Gazella, is the Mhorr, 
the Moroccan representative of the Dama Gazelle, to which, as we have 
already stated, it is very closely allied. Indeed, we have not inconsiderable 
doubts as to their real specific distinctness. Southern Morocco and Senegal 
approach so nearly together that it is not likely prima facie that the Gazelles 
of their deserts would be specifically different. 
The well-known zoologist, Mr. E. T. Bennett, who was Secretary to the 
Zoological Society of London in its early days, was the first describer of the 
‘“Mhorr” as distinct from Gazella dama, and brought his account of it 
before a Meeting of that Society on January 8th, 1833. His full memoir on 
this subject was afterwards published in the Society’s ‘ Transactions,’ where 
it occupies the first pages of the first volume of that standard work. 
Bennett’s observations were made on two specimens of this Gazelle which 
were presented, while living, to the Zoological Society by Mr. HE. W. A. 
Drummond-Hay, C.M.Z.S., then British Consul-General at Tangier, for 
whom they had been procured by Mr. E. W. Willshire, C.M.Z.S., British 
Vice-Consul at Mogador. Bennett also had before him a third specimen in 
the shape of an imperfect skin of this Antelope, also presented to the Society 
by Mr. Drummond-Hay. All these specimens are stated to have been 
brought “ from the territories of the Sheik of Wednoon, twelve days’ journey 
inland from the latter place” 
suppose ‘‘ Ouednoon,” as it should be more correctly written, to be the valley 
; but, in spite of the expression “inland,” we
