_Gazella christii_, which we have alluded to above as synonymous with this species, was a MS. name of the late Dr. Gray, which appears to have been first published by Blyth in 1842, and applied to a pale form of the present animal from Kutch and Sind. But more recent researches have shown that it is not properly separable from the typical _Gazella bennetti_. _Gazella fuscifrons_, another synonym also mentioned above, was based by Dr. Blanford in 1873 on a doe with distinctly ringed horns and with portions of the face dark brown, obtained in Baluchistan. But the late Sir O. B. St. John subsequently procured what he justly concluded to be the male of this form, which, as acknowledged by Dr. Blanford himself, proved to be not distinct from _Gazella bennetti_. By the kindness of the Zoological Society we are enabled to reproduce Dr. Blanford’s figures of the head of _Gazella fuscifrons_, which, except for the slight differences above mentioned, give an equally good idea of the head of the typical _G. bennetti_. [Illustration: Fig. 61. Head of _Gazella fuscifrons_, ♀. (P. Z. S. 1873, p. 317.)] The Indian Gazelle is frequently brought to Europe alive, though it is not so common in our menageries as _Gazella dorcas_, _G. subgutturosa_, and some other species. According to the Zoological Society’s books, the first examples were received in 1838, and since 1860, as will be seen by the printed lists, about twelve specimens have been exhibited. A pair presented by Capt. H. J. Hope Edwards, in April 1883, bred, and the female gave birth to a young one in November of that year; but, like other Gazelles, this species does not usually thrive in the dull climate of England. As is the case with many common animals, the British Museum does not contain a good series of this Gazelle, and specimens with exact localities from all parts of its range are much required. Besides the old mounted examples from the Deccan presented by Col. Sykes and already alluded to, it possesses only a skin from Sind received from the Karachi Museum, and several skulls and pairs of horns from the Salt Range of the Punjâb and Kelat, received in the Hume Collection. Our figures of this species (Plate LX.) have been prepared by Mr. Smit--the male from the skin received from the Karachi Museum, and the female from Col. Sykes’s specimen. _January,_ 1898.
