two adult male and one adult female C. g. muscatensis (Figures 16-17 and 12 respectively); one C. g. trlangeri (Figure 18) and one C. bilkis (Figure 19). For comparison, two male and two female C. d. ilabellil are figured by Ferguson (198 I, Figure 1, though some are incorrectly identified as C. d. dorcas or inter-subspecific hybrids). - Horn Cores: The horn cores in males are longitudinally grooved. In C. dorcas the 3-4 pooves on the anterior face are shon (restricted to the proximal end) and shallow, their edges bevelled; on the posterior face there are one or two deeper, sharp-edged grooves which run for most of the length of the core. In C. gazella the anterior grooves are somewhat deeper and broader. In C. IIIbgullllrosa the anterior grooves are longer, and there is a deep, more sharp-edged groove on the utero-lateral corner; there are two exceedingly deep, sharp-edged grooves on the posterior surface. It was not possible to take off the sheaths of any other species to examine the grooves. The cores in male C. subgunurosa are close together (Figure 2.6). They are also very stout basally, so tbat their medial edges are even closer together. Other species have more widely spaced horns: width across the bases is relatively greater in C. gazella and its relatives than in C. dorcas and G. saudiya (Figure 2.6). - Skull: Table 2.2 records skull measurements (means and standard deviations) in the C. gazelJa group - muscatensis excepted, because despite a fair sample of this taxon most specimens are incomplete, only a single adult male and female skull being available. G. g. COra differs from C. g. gazel/a in both sexes in that the nasals are much narrower, especially posteriorly, and the skull is shorter, primarily due to the shoner braincase, and narrower; the palate is much narrower. G. g. erlangeri in the male differs from gazella in that the nasals are slightly narrower and much shorter, and the skull is shorter (both pre- and postorbitally) and narrower. Compared to cora, the nasals are Slightly broader, much shorter; the skull is shorter but no narrower, the palate being actually broader in the male. In G. bilkis, compared to C. g. gazel/a, the nasals are slightly Jess broadened posteriorly, and much shorter; the female, but not the male. is larger. Compared to cora the nasals are broader and JlllCb shorter. and the skull is much longer (especially postorbitally). and broader. Compared to erlangeri the nasals are slightly broader. and the skull is much longer and broader. Male skulls of the Thumamah "idrni" stock are narrower than C. g. gazel/a. with much narrower nasals. and a slightly shorter. considerably narrower braincase (Table 2.2). The female skulls are slightly shorter than C. g. gazel/a, and have somewhat longer. narrower nasals. They have a broad palate and narrow braincase compared to cora. and the nasals are narrower in the female. especially anteriorly. The nasals are much longer and narrower than in C. bilkis. and the skull. especially the braincase. is rather narrower. 21
