 fig. 157).

 Zoological Gardens in 1875; also its skeleton and two other skulls. Figured by 

 Ridgeway (1909, p. 578, text-fig. 168). 



4. Cape Town Museum, South Africa. Mounted foal, from Beaufort West,

5. Darmstadt Museum. Mounted specimen. 



6. Edinburgh, Royal Scottish Museum. A mounted specimen, purchased by 

 the University of Edinburgh during the year ending June 1818. Figured 

 by Ridgeway (1909, p. 575, text-fig. 165). 



7. Elgin Museum, Scotland. A mounted head and neck, from King Wil- 

 liam's Town, 1861. Figured by Ridgeway (1909, p. 581, text-fig. 172). 



8. Frankfurt a.M., Senckenberg Museum. A well-mounted skin and its 

 skull, received in 1831 by exchange with the Leiden Museum. 



9. Leiden, Dutch State Museum of Natural History. Mounted male and 

 its skeleton, shot near Steenbergen, June 15, 1827. Figured by Ridgeway 

 (1909, p. 577, text-fig. 166). 



10. London, British Museum. Ridgeway (1909, p. 574) has cleared away 

 the confusion regarding the number and origin of the specimens in this 

 Museum. Apparently the only one is a male skin, mounted, and the skeleton 

 of the same animal, which had been presented to the Zoological Society of 

 London by Sir George Grey in 1858 and lived in the Society's Gardens until 

 its death in 1864. The female Quagga which lived in the Gardens from 1851 

 to 1872, was photographed in life, but its skin, upon its death, was in too poor a 

 state to be preserved. Its skeleton, however, was mounted but cannot now 

 be traced. The male specimen as mounted is figured by Ridgeway (1909, 

 p. 573, text-fig. 163) and the living female is figured by Ridgeway (1909, p. 575, 

 text-fig. 164) from York's photograph of the animal. 



11. Mainz Museum, Germany. According to Hilzheimer (1912) there were 

 four mounted Quaggas in this collection, but Schwarz (1912) who also examined 

 them, asserts that one of the four is a Burchell's Zebra. 



12. Munich Natural History Museum. A mounted specimen purchased in 

 1835, and a separate skull that may or may not belong to the same individual. 

 It was this specimen that was the original of the figure by Wagner in "Schreber's 

 Saugthiere, Supplement." Figured by Ridgeway (1909, p. 579, text-fig. 169). 



13. Paris Museum of Natural History. A mounted specimen. According to 

 the communication of Dr. E. L. Trouessart, it was received living after the 

 institution of the Museum's menagerie from the old menagerie of the King, 

 at Versailles in 1793. No more precise locality is given for it than "Cape of 

 Good Hope." Figured by Ridgeway (1909, p. 577, text-fig. 167). 



14. Stockholm, Riksmuseum. The mounted specimen here is a full-grown 

 fetus, brought back by the Swedish traveller Sparrman in 1775. It is therefore 

 the oldest extant specimen and appears to have the pale stripes clearer and 

 extending farther back than usual. While the exact locality is unrecorded, 

 Sparrman mentions that he first saw Quaggas at Swellendam. Figured by 

 Ridgeway (1909, pp. 570, 571, text-figs. 160, 161), both from a photograph and 

 from a recent painting. 



15. Stuttgart Museum, Germany. According to Hilzheimer (1912) this 

 museum contains a skull and footbones of the Quagga. He further mentions 

 that in the Stuttgart Altertums Collection is a miniature model of a Quagga, 

 of which he gives a figure, and suggests that it was probably prepared from 

 the two animals which Frederick I had in his menagerie in 1812-16. It may 

 therefore have a certain authenticity.
