for EK. Hemionus: the Mongolians called the EH. Hemionus 
Dshiggetei, or more properly Tschikitet, meaning long ears, and 
the Tartars call the LH. Onager, Kulan. 
_ Eversmann remarks that Pallas (N. Nord. Beytr. ii. 34) states 
that the male M. Hablizl brought from Persia had no cross, but 
that the female which: was shot on the Murecy had one. He pro- 
ceeds to calculate the length of the ears of these animals, com- 
pared with the other measurements of them, and he finds that 
the ears of the male appear to be considerably (near 2 inches) 
shorter in proportion than the ears of the female.—Bull. Soc. Imp. 
Nat. Mosc. 1840, 57. 
The Mule with Asinus domesticus has the short smooth fur 
exactly like the sire, but with a short narrow cross band on the 
shoulder ; the ears rather longer and black tipped.
