OsTEOLOGY. 
*Skull, female. South Africa. 
Found in herds in every district north of the Orange river. It 
admits of being tamed to a certain extent with considerable fa- 
cility, and occasionally a half-domesticated specimen is exposed 
for sale in Cape Town with a rider on its back: even in the most 
tractable state to which it has yet been reduced, it is regarded as 
wicked, treacherous, obstinate, and fickle.—H. Smith. 
M. F. Cuvier has applied the Hottentot name for the true 
Zebra to this species, and used for it the name EH. montanus, 
that Burchell gave to that animal, though it only inhabits the 
plains. 
tt Hoofs narrow, deeply concave beneath ; legs cross-banded.
