_Gazella fuscifrons_, =Blanf.= P. Z. S. 1873, p. 317 (fig., head ♀) (Jalk, Persia); =Brooke=, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 545; =Blanf.= E. Persia, ii. p. 92 (1876); =Sterndale=, Mamm. Ind. p. 465 (1884); =W. Scl.= Cat. Mamm. Calc. Mus. ii. p. 160 (1891). VERNACULAR NAMES:--_Chinkára_, _Chikára_, _Kol-punch_ in Hindustani; _Phaskela_ in N.W. Provinces; _Ask_ or _Ast_ and _Ahu_ in Baluchistan; _Khazm_ in Brahmi; _Kalsipi_ in Mahratta; _Tiska_, _Budári_, or _Mudári_ in Canarese; _Sank-húlé_ in Mysore; _Porsya_ ♂, _Chari_ ♀ in Baori; _Burudu-jinka_ in Telugu; _Ravine-Deer_ of many Anglo-Indians. Size medium; height at withers 24 to 25 inches. General colour dull fawn. Facial markings distinct, the darker ones rufous-fawn; a black spot on the top of the nose. Ears of medium length, fawn-coloured behind. Dark lateral and pygal bands brownish fawn, scarcely darker than the back; light lateral bands scarcely perceptible; knee-brushes present. Skull with deep anteorbital fossæ:--Basal length 7·2 inches, greatest breadth 3·45, muzzle to orbit 4. Horns thick, heavily ribbed, close together, diverging little but evenly, gently curved backwards below and forwards at their tips. _Female._ Similar to the male, but horns straight, simple, about two-thirds the length of those of the male. _Hab._ Indian Peninsula, extending westwards through Baluchistan to the Persian Gulf. Like the Lion and the Cheetah this Gazelle belongs to an Ethiopian type of mammals, and was originally, no doubt, an intruder into India from the west. But, as will be seen when we come to describe its range, it has now spread itself over the greater part of the peninsula except on the eastern side. On the west the Indian Gazelle extends far along the Mekran coast to the Persian Gulf, and there meets the Arabian Gazelle, of which it is undoubtedly a very close ally, although the latter is always much darker on the back.
