or Dfbiggetai of Middle Afia. 239 
‘vith a row of black eyelafhes, feven lines in length, whicli 
are at a little diftance from the edge of the eyelid, and do 
not reach entirely to the corners. Below the foremoft cor; 
ner, however, of the eye, in the neighbourhood of the os 
jugalis, there are feveral feattered black hairs, two of which; 
more than two inches in length, lie entirely flat. In the 
corner of the eye lies a thick white fold of fkin, which is 
capable of being extended, feven lines in breadth, as far as 
the iris, and in the middle of its edge has a blackifh moon- 
formed fpot. The white of the eye, next to the tranfparent 
cornea, is brownifh; the iris is darkifh grey, and, as it 
were, radiated with folds; the pupil is elongated, fo that its 
longeft diameter runs through the corner of the eye, and, 
like the eye itfelf, ftands obliquely. 
The ears are much larger than thofe of the horfe, though: 
much more in proportion to the fize than thofe of ‘the ais; 
fharp-pointed, erect, internally of the colour of the body; 
but the infide, at the top, and a flripe on the edges down- 
wards, are brownifh black. On the infide they are covered 
with curled whitith hair, which rifes up from the circum- 
ference. Three raifed {tripes run along, the infide of the ear 
Jengthwife, which are thinly covered with hair of the like 
kind projecting from each other. 
The neck is fmaller and rounder than that of the horfe, 
and even than that of thofe called ftag-necked: The mane 
proceeds from the back part of the fkull to the fhoulders, of 
an equal height, and is as foft and as upright as in young 
foals. It is of a blackith colour with yellowith grey points, 
and about three quarters of an inch in length. Inftead of 
the tuft before, the whole fpace between the ears and the 
orbits of the eyes is thick fet with foft hair, of the fame co- 
lour as the mane, and at moft one inch three lines in 
length. 
The body is pretty long, more compreffed on the fides 
than in the horfe, contracted towards the lower part of the 
breatt, particularly before, into a conical form, and ftrongly 
built.
