"fig. 102 is that of a stallion six years old, and text-fig. 103 is of 

 one about ten years of age. A little later I obtained the skins of 

 a mare and her foal killed at a spot less than ten miles from 

 where I had shot the two stallions. The photographs of these are 

 reproduced as text-figs. 104 and 105. 



Text-fio-. 105. 



Buvcliell's Zebra, ^ , foal, trom south of the Sabi River, Eastern Transvaal. 



In the first stallion (text-fig. 102) both the ordinaiy and the 

 shadow stripings are exceptionally strong, and the former is con- 

 tinued down and nearly all round the legs to the pasterns, which 

 are quite black. The body stripes meet the ventral line through- 

 out. The dorsal stripe is wide and very strongly marked. The 

 neck stripes are exceptionally deep, and set very close together. 



In the second stallion (text-fig. 103) the shadow striping is not 

 nearly so well defined and the black stripes also are narrower 

 The body stripes do not extend all round the barrel, and there is 

 practically no connection between them and the not veiy distinct
