The book of antelopes . e for its stout and heavybuild and short nasal opening. The only conjecture we can make respectingthis somewhat problematical species is that it may possibly be the same asGazella Icevipes of Sundevall and Heuglin from North-east Africa, of whichwe have spoken in our article on Gazella rufifrons. It may be remarkedthat Sundevall, in his account of Antilope Icevipes (K. ), has noted the existence, in the Paris Museum, of specimens fromAlgeria of a Gazelle which he considers identical with his species, form a(from Sennaar), and which he separates from form /3 (from Senegal) on accountof the want of the blackish nose-spot. But even if such shall turn outeventually to be the case, the present species will still retain the name rufina— Icevipes as we have already pointed out, being correctly treatedof as a synonym of G. rufifrons. Sir Edmund Loder has most liberally presented the typical specimen ofGazella rufina to the British Museum. May, 1898.
