and is esteemed a fit present for a sovereign 
prince — that Asrlev, in his Collection of 
Voyages, has collected togerher what many 
historians and voyagers have said on the Vv'ild 
Ass, or Zebra — and, that he cannot find.anv cer- 
tain account of the Zebra's being found in any 
part of the world but Africa ; where it seems 
to be an inhabitant, from the extremest northern 
to the farthest southern parts. - 
Pennant, who inclines to think the Female 
Zebra of Edwards, what he describes under the 
appellation of the Quagga, notices that, in the 
former, the loins and lower part of the back 
are spotted. It is, he observes, the Opeagha, 
of Masson's Travels, in the Philosophical 
Transa6lions; and the Quagga, of the Hot- 
tentots. 
He describes it as a Horse, striped like the 
Zebra, on the head, neck, and mane; the 
stripes, from the withers to the middle of the 
rianks, growing gradually shorter, and leaving 
part of the back, loins, and sides, quite plain. 
The ground colour of the whole upper parr, 
and bides, is bay ; and the belly, legs, and 
thighs.
