64 THE QUAGGA. 



Orange river, and wMcli promises to be so exceedingly 

 valuable, may be reclaimed and utilised for the service of 

 man. Its preservation is equally desirable from a utilitarian 

 as from a zoological point of vievv. 



Since the foregoing account of the quagga was in type, 

 it has been stated by Mr. Rieche, the importer of the 

 giraffe and other South African animals, that it is possible 

 that the true quagga has not been exterminated.
