white colour, while the breast and belly of the 
Guib are of a deep chesrmt. It differs, like-

are smooth; without transverse rings; and 
have two longitudinal ribs, the one above and 
the other below, forming a spiral twist from 
the base to the point; they are, also, some-

Gazelle. It is, however, neither the one nor 
the other, but an intermediate species. This 
animal is remarkable for white bands on a 
chesnut ground-colour. These bands are dis- 
posed along and across the body, like a har- 
ness. It lives in society ; and great flocks of 
these animals are found in the plains and 
-woods of Podor. . As M. Adanson is the 
first who remarked the Guib," concludes Buf-
