“So good a description of _G. loderi_ has been given by Mr. Thomas (P. Z. S. 1894, p. 470), that I can add nothing thereto, except it be merely to say that the coat of this Gazelle is extremely fine and short-haired, and that in the specimens which I have the knee-brushes are so slightly developed as to be scarcely noticeable or worthy of the name.” In the spring of 1895 Sclater was in Egypt, and convinced himself that besides _G. dorcas_, of which there were many specimens in the Zoological Gardens at Gizeh, there were examples of both sexes of another species belonging to the group of _G. leptoceros_ and _G. cuvieri_, stated to have been obtained from the Arabs of the Western Desert (_cf._ P. Z. S. 1895, p. 400). On receipt in London of a skin and skull of this Gazelle subsequently sent to him by Mr. Jennings-Bramley, Sclater, after comparing it with typical specimens of _Gazella loderi_ in the British Museum, pronounced them to be of the same species. Mr. Jennings-Bramley also supplied Sclater with some excellent notes on the mode of capture of this Gazelle by the Arabs of the Western Desert of Egypt, from which we extract the following passages:-- “On the 27th of June, 1895, I started from the Pyramids in order, if possible, to catch some living specimens of Loder’s Gazelle (_Gazella loderi_), known to the Arabs as ‘Rasal Abiad’ (the White Gazelle), which the shikaries whom I took with me reported to be found in the desert at some thirty or forty miles distant from Cairo. “Leaving at 4 P.M. on the 27th, we started, taking a south-easterly direction. We travelled till 12 that night, and at 4 next morning resumed our march. Soon after the sun had risen, one of the shikaries, pointing to the ground, showed what he made out to be the spoor, evidently but lately made, of a fine male Loder’s Gazelle. This, being larger than that of the Dorcas Gazelle, is very easily recognizable; the bluntness of the hoofs in the case of Loder’s Gazelle shows a marked difference. About 12 o’clock one of the camel-men called out that a Gazelle could be seen ahead, but the many heaps of white stones, scattered all over the desert, are so deceiving at a little distance that both shikaries shook their heads.
