Abstract
IT is well known that, in different districts of their range, the zebras of the type commonly known as Burchell's, but which, for reasons elsewhere given, I propose to call “quaggas,”present distinct and easily determinable colour variations, sufficiently constant in character to be worthy of nominal recognition. Grant's quagga occurs in North-East Africa, Crawshay's quagga in Nyasaland, Selous's quagga in Rhodesia, and Chapman's quagga in Angola. Still further south came Burchell's quagga,. and south of this again the two or more extinct types which, as Mr. Lydekker has shown, pass currently as the quagga proper.
