colour, the stripes on the cheek, neck, and shoulders bemg black 
and sharply contrasted with those on the posterior part of the 
body and quarters, which are rusty brown. This at least was the 
case in the only foal of this species that I have seen, namely, one 
born in the Gardens. Another interesting feature about this little 
animal was the presence of an erect, thick mane, mostly rusty 
brown in colour, which was continuous with the neck-mane on the 
withers and extended backwards down the spinal stripe, over the 
tail to the tail-tuft. And if, as appears highly probable, Prof. 
Ewart is correct in thinking Grévy’s Zebra the most primitive 
type in the matter of pattern, it may be that this transitory spinal 
mane in the foal of that species is evidence that the ancestor of 
all Zebras, and inferentially of all Equide, since 2. grevyi is, in 
my opinion, proved by his braying voice to be nearly akin to the 
African Wild Ass, possessed a mane running from the crown of 
the head to the tip of the tail.”

This genus has been generally known as Cyaniris Dalman, 
since Scudder so defined it in 1872. Prout, however, calls 
attention to the fact that Dalman himself gave semiargus 
(argianus) as the type, a circumstance that Scudder in some way 
overlooked. 
Felder, in 1865, gave Lycunopsis as a generic name to haraldus 
(ananga), and there is now a fair consensus of opinion, which the 
observations reported in this communication fully support, that 
haraidus is a species of Cyaniris (Scudder). Mr. Prout tells me 
that notwithstanding Felder gave the name Lycwnopsis to express 
his opinion that haraldus was not congeneric with anything else, 
the rules at present accepted make Lycenopsis the generic name 
of Cyaniris (Scudder). Mr. Tutt, in 1906, unaware of the claims 
of Lycenopsis to this position, provided the name Celastrina 
with argiolus as type. Should some one find reason to divide 
Lycenopsis into several genera, Celastrina would become the 
name of that containing argiolus, I do not myself see, at present, 
any reason for such subdivision of Lycenopsis, and could not 
frame divisions, without using as generic characters features that 
seem to me to have only specific value. It remains to remark 
that, as Cyaniris has had a start of only 30 years, it hardly 
claims place under the new agitation for advocating usage v.
