PROF. J. C. EWART ON EAST-AFRICAX ZEBRAS. 



181 



Mr. W. B. Tegetmeier, F.Z.S., exhibited a specimen of an 

 Asiatic King- Crab [Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) which had 

 been picked up alive off the Isle of Wight. 



Prof. J. 0. Ewart, F.R.S., exhibited some skins and a series of 

 lantern-slides of the Zebras of East Africa, and read the following 

 note on a form generally resembling in conformation and markings 

 the Mountain Zebra of South Africa : — 



Some years ago Mr. Rowland Ward presented me with a stuffed 

 Zebra which, though originally " traded out of Somahland," has 

 a general resemblance to the Mou.ntain Zebra of South Africa. 

 This Zebra (now in the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh) is 

 in several respects so unlike the other forms hitherto described 

 that, without waiting for its exact habitat*, it may be worth 

 while pointing out how it agrees with, and differs from, the true 

 Mountain Zebra.

Ward's Zebra, to show long ears and face-stripes. 



This Zebi'a (which may be known as Ward's Zebra) very 

 closely resembles the Mountain Zebra in height, in the form 

 and size of the head, ears, and muzzle (text-fig. 35), in the mane, 



* It probably inhabits part of the area betweou the upper reaches of the Tana 

 Eiver and Lake Rudolf.
