Genus EQUUS. 



Equus, Linnaeus Syat. Nat., lath ed., i, p. 100 (1766). 

 Asinus, Gray Ann. Philos., xxvi, p. 337 (1825)*. 



The two Indian wild asses, the Kiang of Thibet and the Ghor- 

 khur of Cutch, resemble each other very closely, and there does not 

 seem to be, judging either by the descriptions published of the two 

 animals or by examination of the few skulls in the Museum, any 

 real distinction between the two. For convenience however, the 

 synonymy of the two forms has been separated under the headings 

 of Equus haemionus var. indicus and E. haemionus var. kiang. 



Equus hemionus. 



Var. A. — typicus.
