THE KIANGL (Equus Eemionus.) 



THE Kiang, which is also called the Djiggetai, is a kind 

 of wild ass, found in small herds on the great plains of 

 Central Asia. It is a good deal larger than the common 

 ass, and its fur is of a peculiar pale reddish chestnut 

 tint, except on the legs and muzzle, which are nearly 

 white. The ears are not so long as in the ass, and there 

 is a black streak down the middle of the back.
