A West African gazelle named by E. T. Bennett Gazella mhorr, having horns annulated with ten or twelve prominent rings.
‘The animal is much sought after by the Arabs on account of producing the bezoar stones so highly valued in eastern medicine. These stones are commonly called in Marocco, Baid-el-Mhorr, mhorr's eggs’ (Penny Cycl. 1834 II. 86).
