THE TRUE QUAGGA 183 



driven in harness between the Zoo and Covent 

 Garden Market, early in the last century. It was 

 also probably the animal drawn from life by 

 • Hamilton Smith, and figured in his work on the 

 Equidse, published in 1841. This animal died at 

 some time previous to 1838, and its skin may be 

 that referred to by Sir Cornwallis Harris in 1840, 

 as being exhibited by the Zoological Society. The 

 second quagga was purchased in 1851, and died in 

 the summer of 1872. This individual — a female — 

 was twice photographed in the last year of its life 

 by Mr. York, and it has been stated by several 

 naturalists that these photographs are the only 

 sun pictures of a living quagga extant. Such, 

 however, is not the case, as Captain Hayes' work 

 on the " Points of the Horse " contains a repro- 

 duction of a photograph of the same individual — 

 taken by Mr. Frank Haes. A copy of this 

 photograph, presented to the Society by Mr. Haes, 

 was exhibited by the Secretary at a meeting held 

 on May 3rd, 1904. The third quagga was a 

 male, which was presented to the Zoological 

 Society in 1858 by the late Sir George Grey, and 

 had to be slaughtered in 1864, it having injured 

 itself by breaking down some boarding. It may 

 be the animal specially drawn by Zwecker for the 

 figure of the quagga in the Rev, J. G. Wood's 

 Illustrated Natural History, published during 

 1861-63 • ^t ^"y ^3-^^ the individual represented
