Gazella granti raineyi 
Native Name: Rendile, haul. 
Gazella granti raineyi Heller, 1913, Smith. Misc. Coll., vol. 61, No. 7, p. 6.

Lake Rudolf, eastward at least as far as the Lorian swamp. 
Limits of range not known owing to lack of specimens from 
the intermediate districts.

the Lorogi Mountains, while raineyi is a close ally of brighti,

to the white flank patch, by darker dorsal color and larger
