“_Gazella petersi_ (known to the Swahilis also as ‘Sala’) may be a local variety of _G. granti_ rather than a distinct species. It used to be plentiful at Merereni on the British East African coast, and is still found further inland in the Galla country. It is certainly a smaller beast than _Gazella granti_ from Kilimanjaro and Machakos, but in other respects is almost identical, excepting in the shape and size of the horns, which I have never known to exceed 22 inches in length measured along the curve. The horns are also straighter, and have not nearly such a pronounced backward curve as those of _G. granti_, neither do they diverge towards the points so much, being rarely more than seven or eight inches apart at the widest parts. _Gazella petersi_ is found in the small open plains and open scrub.” In the gallery of the British Museum there is a good mounted specimen of the adult male of this species, also another younger specimen from the “Mainland opposite Zanzibar,” and a third from “Mombasa,” besides two skulls (♂ and ♀) from “South Somaliland,” all presented by Sir John Kirk. These were formerly labelled _G. granti_, but must be referred to _G. petersi_ if the species are kept separate. There is also in the Museum a fine skin and skull of a male _G. petersi_ from near Mount Pika-pika, about 40 miles from Mombasa, presented by Mr. L. E. Caine. It would appear, therefore, that the range of _G. petersi_ until lately extended all along the coast of British East Africa, though it has now perhaps been nearly shot out in the southern parts. The British Museum has likewise three skulls of this Gazelle from the Tana River presented by Mr. F. J. Jackson, to whom we are also much indebted for the loan of two other representative heads of this species from Merereni, south of Formosa Bay. _September,_ 1898. 102. THE BANDED GAZELLE. GAZELLA NOTATA, THOS. _Gazella grantii notata_, =Thos.= Ann. Mag. N. H. (6) xx. p. 479 (1897); =A. Neumann=, Elephant-Hunting in E. Africa, p. 238 (1898). Only known from a single flat skin, without the head. Fur unusually long and shaggy. Size about as in _G. granti_, and general body-markings as in that species, but all much intensified. Dark and light lateral bands much longer and broader, the former nearly black and reaching forwards on to the shoulder, and backwards nearly to the white rump-mark; the latter pale buff, and succeeded above by a second dark band, lighter than the main lateral band, but distinctly darker than the centre of the back. This second dark band united with the other behind the posterior end of the light band. Pygal band black and very strongly defined. Horns said by the discoverer to have been like those of _G. granti_. _Hab._ Western slope of the Loroghi Mountains, British East Africa.
