210 THE M'HORR. 



dull bay, which extends about two-thirds down the 

 sides, where it terminates abruptly in the white of 

 the belly. It is continued along the middle of the 

 back to within a short distance of the tail, and is 

 rounded posteriorly. From the hinder part of the 

 sides the deep colour is continued in a broad and 

 somewhat triangular patch upon the haunches, where 

 it proceeds in a narrowing stripe down the middle of 

 the outside of the legs as far as the neck, on which 

 it extends rather broadly backwards, and below which 

 the stripe crosses obliquely and gradually towards the 

 front of the limb, terminating a short distance above 

 the hoofs, and occupying at its termination the ante- 

 rior outer part of the fetlock. Throughout this 

 course, the separation of the fulvous colour from the 

 pure white immediately adjoining it, is strongly de- 

 fined. 



The deep fulvous colour of the upper surface ex- 

 tends over the whole neck both above and below, and 

 becomes fainter on the head, passing up the cheeks, 

 and fading away under the eyes. Between the ears 

 and behind the horns it is tinged with blackish or 

 iron-grey. A remarkable white patch is seated about 

 half way down in front of the neck. 



The whole of the lower parts of the sides and un- 

 der surface, with the inner, the hinder, and the ante- 

 rior surfaces of the limbs, are pure white. The white 

 of the hinder part of the posterior limbs extends up- 

 wards for about four inches above the tail, including 

 the tail and whole rump, and is prolonged forwards 

 on each haunch, in a broad streak about five inches
