The other flank stripe (Fig. 23, ),which lies between the caudal and stifle stripes, may beknown as the intermediate flank stripe.^ In Matopo thethird flank stripe stops short of the ventral band, while inthe true Burchell zebra (Fig. 27) the third flank stripe isat the best feebly developed. Between the great flankstripe and the vertical stripes there are in the craivshayizebras a number of oblique stripes, some of which reach the Fig. 27. \^ d -K^.
