“_Gazella soemmerringi_ is the common Gazelle of the interior of Somaliland, supplanting the two Gazelles _G. spekei_ and _G. pelzelni_, which inhabit the country lying to the south of the Golis Mountains and the barren ground along the coast respectively. Its native name is ‘Aoul,’ and it is found in the open plains, as a rule in herds of from four to sixty beasts, although occasionally I have come across an old buck by himself. On July 14th, 1894, I saw a small herd of these Gazelles about long. 44° 30´ E. and lat. 9° 48´ N., which is the most northerly point at which I have found them, whilst to the east they are not met with till even farther south. Herds of Speke’s Gazelle are seen in company with Soemmerring’s Gazelle as far south as lat. 9° 6´ N., after which _Gazella soemmerringi_ is alone found. “Whilst in the Haud in 1894 I saw Oryx, and Waller’s, Speke’s, and Soemmerring’s Gazelles all together at the same time. The Soemmerring’s Gazelles prefer the open plains, although they are also found in bushy park like country, but never in the Khansa forests like _Gazella walleri_. When sighting anything strange they bunch together and stare; they are the least timid besides being the most plentiful of the Somali Antelopes, but in the open plains they will often allow you to walk past them at 200 yards distance, whilst any Oryx that are with them decamp long before. The horns of the female are much more slender than those of the male, they are also shorter and more irregular. “The flesh of this Gazelle is preferred by the Somalis to any other, and on several occasions I have been asked by sick men to shoot one for them, especially in cases of fever, when it is considered to be very strengthening. When in the Arusa Galla country in 1894–5 I did not come across this Gazelle between the Webbe Shabeyli and long. 40° 30´ E., lat. 7° N.; in fact once across the Webbe I did not meet it again till my return to Somaliland, the country beyond being absolutely unsuited to it. In the Aulihan district opposite Bari, however, I met with it on the farther side of the Webbe. “In February 1897, whilst camping in the Haud along with Mr. Percy V. Aylmer, we met with examples of this Gazelle at least 35 miles from the nearest water as the crow flies. As it was the dry season these animals could have obtained no moisture except dew unless they travelled that distance. Although at present the most plentiful, this, I fear, will be one of the first of the Antelopes of Somaliland to disappear, and the Reservation, as now laid down, will be of little or no use in protecting it.” To Mr. Alfred E. Pease, M.P., F.Z.S., we are greatly indebted for the following notes on his experiences with this Antelope.--
