That there is considerable variation in the markings of the species is evident from a comparison of the engraving of this skin with that of the animal received from Shoa. The croup of the latter, which lived for a short time in the Jardin des Plantes, as shown by the engraving, is white, whereas in the Somali skin it is covered closely with small stripes, which bear a distinct relation to those which con- stitute the " gridiron" markings in the true Equus 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 Tegetmeier, W.
