Hodgson's antelope has been variously classed by different authors, but there can be but 

 little doubt that Hodgson was right in considering it closely allied to the Gazelles. The form 

 of the feet with their very pointed hoofs strongly supports this view.

Pantholops hodgsoni appears to be common throughout Tibet from the neighbourhood 

 of Lhassa to Ladiik. It is found in the Kuenlun range, but has not been met with

 Mongolia.
