Typical Grant Gazelle 
Gazella granti granti 
Gazella granti Brooke, 1872, Proc. Zool. Soc., p. 601, pi. LIX (colored). 
Range. —German East Africa from Ugogo, in the vicin¬ 
ity of Kanyenye and Mpwapwa, northward at least as far 
as Irangi, but not reaching British East Africa; limits of 
range unknown. 
The large, stately gazelle which bears Colonel J. A. 
Grant’s name was discovered by Speke and Grant at Kan¬ 
yenye, Ugogo district, in i860, during their journey of 
discovery of the source of the Nile. It was found inhab¬ 
iting a dry saline plain having an elevation of three thou¬ 
sand feet approximately. The discoverers recognized the 
species as new and took precautions to make sketches of 
the specimens in the field. The specimens collected were 
unfortunately lost in transit, so that it became necessary 
to describe the species from the notes and sketches of the 
explorers. Even at the present day specimens from near 
the type locality are preserved in only one or two European 
museums. The typical is really the least known form of 
Grant gazelle, owing to the region which it inhabits having 
seldom been visited by sportsmen or naturalists. The typi¬ 
cal race may be distinguished by the long, wide-spread 
horns, the light cinnamon body, and well-marked, dark 
nose spot and pygal band in the male.
