mane at the shoulders to theloins and is contlnuedon the rump 

 by a black stripe. The left side of the body and the back are 

 marked by twelve, the right by eleven narrow transverse 

 white stripes at irregular intervals, the stripes being continu- 

 ous with the white dorsal stripe and often forking before join- 

 ing, but below they do not extend on to the under-parts. The 

 tail, above, is light tawny and the brush of long hair at the tip 

 black; but below it is white, sharply defined on the sides 

 against the tawny. The legs, on the outside, are ochraceous- 

 buff to the fetlocks, which are marked by a broad blackish 

 blotch on the foreleg and a fainter dusky one on the hind 

 leg. The pasterns behind and both the main and the false 

 hoofs are encircled by black, but the front of the pastern is 

 white. The under-parts and the inside of the legs are cream- 

 buff. The breast and the belly are marked by a broad seal- 

 brown stripe which is narrowest on the chest but widens pos- 

 teriorly and covers the whole median portion of the belly. 

 The foreleg is marked by a broad black bar on the inside below 

 the elbow. The whole nape, from the base of the skull to be- 

 tween the shoulders, is covered by a broad mane of long black 

 hair which extends half-way down to the throat on the sides 

 of the neck, where it reaches its lowest point just in front of 

 the shoulder. The individual hairs of the mane are four 

 inches long, and black for three-fourths of their length, with 

 the tip buff, but the hair so thin that the brown tips have no 

 appreciable effect on the general blackness. The sides of the 

 neck are drab, in contrast to the lighter sides of the head and 

 body, and the dark area is bordered on the throat pos- 

 teriorly by a wide band of white. The median line of the 

 throat is fringed by a narrow mane of blackish hair inter- 

 mixed with buffy, which forms at the lower part of the 

 throat a short, pendent dewlap. The cheeks and upper 

 throat are vinaceous-buff. The chin and upper lips are 

 white. The cheeks are marked by a white spot below the eye 

 and the throat by a similar one. The crown of the head has a 

 slightly bushy mat of ferruginous hair extending from the 

 horn bases to the interorbital region, where it is bounded 

 by a white chevron stripe from the eye, but the stripes of 

 the two sides do not meet on the snout, where they are 

 separated by a broad black area which extends to the muzzle.
