Antelopes
_Gazella ruficollis_ is, we regret to say, represented in the
British Museum by two specimens only, neither of which is suitable
for exhibition in the Gallery. One of these is a stuffed female from
Sennaar, received from the Stockholm Museum, in exchange, in 1846, and
the other an imperfect skin of a male from Kordofan, purchased of a
dealer in 1848.
We are not aware that this Gazelle has ever been brought to Europe
alive.
Our figure (Plate LXXI.) has been drawn from the stuffed female in the
British Museum.
