SOUTH AFRICAN MAMMALS 



pasterns being black. Muzzle, dark russet or tan colour. 

 Originally described as from the high country west of Lake 

 Nyassa, Mr. W. L. Sclater records this animal from Beira 

 in Portuguese East Africa. The Zoo obtained a stallion 

 from the north of Northern Rhodesia, which was said to- 

 have been captured bet ween Lakes Mweru and Bangweolo, 

 and which seems referable to Rothschild's annectens, but

the muzzle is tan-coloured. A mare received from the 

 southern portion of Northern Rhodesia, near the Kafue 

 River, resembles the stallion to a marked degree. The 

 Walker Brothers, of Choma, inform me that this animal 

 is common in this region, and inhabits the hilly country, 

 whereas the Burchell's Zebra is found on the plains. 

 Photographs of the stallion are appended.
