Zoological Society by Sir George Grey, K.C.B., in 1858, and lived 

 in the Menagerie in the Regent's Park till June 1864. The skin 

 is exhibited in case no. 38 in the lower mammal gallery, and the 

 skull on the opposite side of the same case." 



Between this specimen and that at Tring there has been much 

 confusion. In the P. Z. S. 1901, vol. i. p. 165, Dr. P. L. Sclater, 

 F.R.S., stated that the female Quagga purchased on March 15th, 

 1851, by the Zoological Society died on July 7th, 1872, and was 

 sold to Mr. E. Gerrard, and is now in the Zoological Musevim at 

 Tring. A photograph of this animal taken during its lifetime

(1870) by York is reproduced on p. 166 of the volume just cited. 

 Mr, Pocock accepted this statement as correct and reprinted it in 

 his paper on the Cape Colony Quagga (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) 

 xiv.p. 324, 1904). 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild, M.P., then wrote to Mr. Pocock 

 to tell him that he had bought the Tring Quagga from Gerrard 

 in 1889, understanding that it had been received in exchange 

 from the Dresden Museum. Mr. Pocock wrote to Mr. Gerrard, 

 and he informed Mr. Pocock that it came from the Ley den Museum.
