THE KIANG. (Equus Hemionus.) 
The Kiang, which is also called the Djiggetai, is a kind 
of wild ass, found in small herds on the great plains of 
Central Asia. It is a good deal larger than the common 
ass, and its fur is of a peculiar pale reddish chestnut 
tint, except on the legs and muzzle, which are nearly 
white. The ears are not so long as in the ass, and there 
is a black streak down the middle of the back.
