EQUINE HYBRID (in tlie Jardiii des I'lantes). 



(Asiatic Wild Ass x Burchell Zelmi. ) 

 On tlie hind ((uarters are seen broad bands derived directly from 

 the zebra jiarent ; the l)ody shows narrower stripiiii; probably 

 inherited from a remote ancestor. (xeneral body colour rufous 

 grey. Tlie cliaracteristic iu(iuisitiveness of these hybrids is seen in 

 the averted head, the animal being absorbed in the clumsy antics 



of a young elephant in tlie next pen.
