“Grant’s Gazelle ranges north into Turkwel and the Sak country, but is not found on the Mau plateau. At Njemps and Baringo, and in Turkwel, this Gazelle is considerably smaller than those found further south at Naivasha and on the Athi plains. At Njemps I shot the largest buck out of a herd of thirty, in which there were three or four other bucks. It was an old beast, in good condition, but only weighed 135 lbs. with horns 20 inches. To show the differences in size I append some measurements for comparison:-- +-----------------------+---------------+----------------------+---------------+ | | | |_G. granti_, ♂.| | |_G. granti_, ♂.|_G. granti_, ♂ (two). |Gil-Gil River, | | | Njemps | Gil-Gil River, Lake | Lake Naivasha | | | (21.9.96). | Naivasha (2.1.96). | (4.4.96). | |-----------------------+---------------+-----------+----------+---------------+ | | ft. in. | ft. in. | ft. in. | ft. in. | | | | | | | |Total length | 5 3 | 5 8 | 5 7 | 5 7 | |Height at shoulder | 2 11 | 3 1½ | 3 2½ | 3 0½ | |Depth of chest | 1 1½ | 1 3 | 1 4 | 1 3 | |Circumference of chest | 2 9 | 3 1 | 3 3 | 3 1 | | „ haunch| 3 0 | | | 3 5 | | „ loins | 2 3 | 2 9 | 2 10 | 2 7½ | | „ throat| 1 6 | 1 8 | 1 8 | 1 6 | | „ neck | 1 8 | 2 0½ | 2 1 | 1 10½ | |Tail | 10½ | 11 | 10 | 10 | |Horns | 20 | 28¼ | 27 | 24 | |Weight | 135 lbs. | 158 lbs.| 167 lbs.| 166 lbs.” | +-----------------------+---------------+-----------+----------+---------------+ Dr. Donaldson Smith has recorded the existence of this Gazelle “in great numbers” all along his route homewards from Lake Rudolph on the northern bank of the Tana. But these animals may possibly have belonged to the next species _Gazella petersi_. Dr. Donaldson Smith also met with Grant’s Gazelle in the Boran country “a little west of 39° W.L.,” and found it “extending as far north as 6° N.L.” Mr. Cavendish likewise obtained examples of this Gazelle during his recent expedition to Rudolphia.
