70 THE EXISTING EQUIDAE [CH. 



(16) Grant's Zebra^ (Equus burchelli var. granti) is a variety 

 (Figs. 30-5) of the Burchell Zebra, closely resembling Chapman's, 

 from which it only differs (1) by the dark bands on the legs 

 being more sharply defined, (2) by the white spaces on neck and 

 cheeks being broader, (3) by its having no ' shadow ' stripes. 

 It is found in British East Africa and German East Africa.

(17) The Quagga or Quacha {Equus quagga), so-called 

 from its neigh, is now probably as extinct as the Moa and the 

 Dodo, although it is not very long since living specimens were 

 in European collections, Down to the middle of the last century
