convincingly the horse-like form ol' BurchelFs zebra, and 

 its fitness for the service of man as compared with the 

 more asinine conformation of the mountain zebra. At the 

 Jardin des Plantes experiments are now being made on 

 the production and utilisation of cross-bred animals 

 between the mountain and BurchelPs zebras. 



BurchelFs zebra is now often called the quagga in some 

 districts of South Africa — an error which has unfortunately 

 been followed in the late Lord Randolph Churchiirs vvork 

 on ^'' Men, Mines, and Animals in South Africa.^^
