THE GAZELLES AND THEIR ALLIES 595 
Abyssinian Grant Gazelle 
Gazella granti lacuum 
Gazella granti lacuum Neumann, 1906, Sitz.-Ber. Ges. Nat. Freu., No. 9, 
p. 243. 
Range. —The Rift Valley of southern Abyssinia in the 
neighborhood of Lake Zwai, and thence southward to Lake 
Abaya. Limits of range not known. 
This, the most northern race, was described by its dis¬ 
coverer, Oscar Neumann, from specimens collected at Lake 
Zwai, supplemented by others from Lake Abaya. It appar¬ 
ently occupies an isolated plateau region north of and dis¬ 
tinct from the low desert where brighti is found. It is 
described as a small race, but with larger and wider-spread 
horns than brighti , and with the dark pygal band fairly well 
marked. No dimensions have been given by the describer. 
Two specimens from Lake Zwai, collected by W. N. McMil¬ 
lan, have been examined at the British Museum. Only 
one of these is without the dark side stripe, but both have 
the dark pygal band broad and the horns fairly wide-spread. 
Lorogi Grant Gazelle 
Gazella granti notata 
Gazella granti notata Thomas, 1897, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist . 9 ser. 6, vol. 
XV, p. 479. 
Range. —Southwest slope of the Lorogi Mountains. 
The type was collected by A. H. Neumann while ele¬ 
phant hunting on the southwest slope of the Lorogi Moun¬ 
tains, near a small lake or swamp known as Kisima. It 
was only on this high plateau, having an altitude of some 
five thousand feet, that this boldly marked race was found. 
The characters of the race are the presence of a dark 
lateral band present in the adult male, very wide and 
dark, extending from the shoulder to the rump patch, 
and the dorsal coloration very dark or rufous. The Lorogi 
Grant gazelle is known only from the type specimen, which 
is a headless skin.
