514 CONCLUSIONS. 
of the head is observed to be darker than that of the body; we 
may safely read for “body” the “neck”. Once the colour of the 
shoulders is reported to be much darker than the rest of the body 
(122). 
On this dark upperpart spots, stripes, streaks etc. of a lighter 
hue are observed more than once: the colour was that of a conger 
eel, consequently brown with lighter streaks (144), spotted, and 
with light flames, or maculated, with distinctly visible light spots 
like a turtle or a lackered table (p. 131), apparently shaded with 
light colours (41), streaked with white in irregular streaks (97), 
on an under ground of fawn colour there were large brown spots 
behind the shoulders (122), maculated with large white spots (130), 
covered with several white spots (131), brown with black spots 
(162). See also figg. 37 and 38. 
In some individuals there is a black ring round the eye (p. 131, 
29), and the region of the mouth is also black, so that they resem- 
ble those horses which we call moorish heads or blackfaces (p. 
Lode 9): 
The sides of the underjaw seem to be very light coloured: 
white (34, 41, 126, figg. 28, 29, 30), as is also the throat: whitish 
(p. 188, 117, figg. 28, 29, 380) yellow (25), muddy white (56), 
yellowish white (118), brownish white (118), light coloured (126), 
white (69, 144), “the underpart of its head appeared nearly white” 
(41), “several feet of its belly” (read throat) “which were visible 
appeared nearly white” (41); very remarkable is the supposition of 
Mr. Marraew Garrnry: “I suppose and do believe that the whole 
of his belly was nearly white’ (41), this really seems to be the 
case, for we read in 1064 that the tail is longitudinally divided 
into two sections, white and black, and in n°. 144 that the whole 
animal was longitudinally divided into two sections, white and 
black. Of course in both cases the black side was the back-side, 
as was very well supposed by Captain Drevar in n°. 144. 
I am of course unable to decide in how far the problematic 
dark stripe, curved downwards, on each side behind the underjaw, 
and as long as the head, delineated in figg. 28 and 29, will ever 
be found to come up to reality. 
The representation of the colours in fig. 31 is very bad, as the 
animal’s back is drawn lighter than the underpart, and I believe 
that such alternating broad bands of a light and dark colour don’t 
exist in reality, but are here the result of drawing with a pencil.
