Note 3 — Subfamily V. ANTILOPINÆ. (continued 2)

This species may be taken as the type of Gazella, as being the only one which is common to Lichtenstein’s original genus and to Blainville’s “Gazella” of 1816. The latter author is ordinarily quoted as the original founder of the name, and his list includes the best known species—G. dorcas. But Lichtenstein’s genus, two years earlier in date, does not contain G. dorcas at all, and the only way in which the name Gazella can be properly retained for this group is by regarding G. subgutturosa as its type.
