This animal is much larger than Grant's zebra. It makes a sound much resembling the 

 braying of a donkey and quite different to that of Chapman's. 



It is found plentifully in most of the low-lying country of Samburr, Rendile, and the 

 South Borana. It is also found in Turkana country, north of Elgon. So far as I am aware 

 it is not found south of the Lorogai Mountains, or south of parallel one degree of latitude. 

 It is plentiful north of the Lorogai, and between this range and Doto (Mathew's Range).
