SOME NOTES ON THE 
further into the fawn of the back, completely surrounding 
the tail. The dark bands to this patch, which in the G . G . 
Brighti are well-nigh obsolete, are in this race broad, black, 
and well defined. 
It resembles G. ( Granti ) Peter si in its small bodily size, and 
in the shape and length of its horns, but differs from it in the 
character of the rump patch, and in the absence of flank bands 
which are present, though faint, in the adult Petersi of both 
sexes. The fawn of the back in the latter race is extended

The G. G. Brighti is found in considerable numbers in the 
Lorian district, and I believe also to the north, but in Southern 
Jubaland no Grant’s gazelle is to be found between Lorian 
and the district of Joreh. It would seem probable that 
G. G. Brighti and the race under consideration merge into one 
another somewhere near El Wak, and it would be interesting 
if specimens of the gazelle from that district could be 
obtained for comparison. 
In Northern Jubaland and in the Lorian district Grevy’s 
zebra is met with in considerable numbers, but it does not 
occur anywhere between the Lak Dera and the Tana. Here
