These leg stripes are not so regularly defined as those of the mountain zebra. As we may meet with specimens having all degrees of striping on the legs, I would submit that the presence or absence of stripes on the limbs is a mere question of individual or local difference, and that the so-called Chapman zebra should not be regarded as a distinct variety.

The Gr^vy or Somali-land Zebra {Equus grivyi. Fig. 365). This animal, which is found in Shoa and Somali- land, closely resembles the mountain zebra in being striped. Fig. 365.—The GRivY or Somali-land Zebri. down to the coronets, and in having the hair of its tail collected as a tuft at the end. It differs, however, in being white underneath the chest and abdomen, and in having white patches on the rear part of the croup at each side of the stripe down the back. Also, there are no transverse stripes on the croup. The stripes are somewhat narrower than those of the mountain zebra, and, in their arrangement, resemble them more nearly than do those of the Burchell zebra, with which it closely agrees in its conformation. The differences in the stripes of these two animals are shown in Figs. ^^66 and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hayes, M.
