THE HORSE. 



A Quagga. 



A Zebra. 



I/I/H/W. " 



The Quagga bears a greater resemblance to the horse than to the zebra; the hair on the neck is brown, 

 with transverse stripes, the croup of a reddish grey, tail and legs whitish ; its voice resembles the barking 

 of a dog. It is a native of the same country as the zebra, but is not so fierce : like it, however, its flesh is 

 much relished both by man and the king of the forest, whose combined depredations are thinning its ranks. 



The Zebra is a native of the mountain districts of south- 

 ern Africa. In its shape it has no little resemblance to the 

 mule. It is regularly striped, even down to the hoofs, 

 with glossy brownish black on a yellowish white ground. 

 Wild and swift, this beautiful species live in troops in 

 the bold ranges of craggy mountains remote from the 

 abodes of man. Its disposition is savage and intractable, 

 and it is by no means easily obtained, not only from its 

 fleetness, but from the nature of the locality it frequents, 

 where, like the Wild Ass of Tartary, in " the wilderness 

 and barren land is his dwelling ; and he scorneth the mul- 

 titude of the city."
