 Ane isabelle, LeVaillant. 



Lesson places the Quagga with the true Horses, because the 

 hair extends nearer to the base of the tail, overlooking the warts 

 and other natural characters. Nov. Tab. R. A. 166, 1842. 



The Quagga is found in herds near the Cape Colony. 



LeVaillant, as Col. Smith observes, only saw, and did not 

 possess, the Ane Isabelle. The specimen in the British Museum 

 described and figured by Col. H. Smith was certainly only a 

 young Quagga in a very imperfect condition, having lost nearly 

 the whole of its fur before it was stuffed. It was presented by 

 Dr. Burchell as the skin of a Quagga.
