PROF. W. RIDGEWAY ON THE 



[May 11, 



I have not been as yet able to get a specimen of Ward's Zebra 

 from this area. But, on the other hand, Mr. C. W. Hobley not 

 long since wrote to me the substance of a conversation which he 

 had with Lord Delamere, the well-known big-game shooter. The 

 latter told Mr. Hobley that he had sent home to Mr. Rowland 



Text-fig. 149. 



Grant's Zebra (female) ; Baringo (3000 ft.). 



Ward the skin of a zebra, which some one had named after 

 Mr. Ward. This animal Lord Delamere said he had shot at 

 Baringo. We have thus at last got the true provenance of this 

 very important specimen from the mouth of the sportsman who 

 shot it.
