There is just been presented to the LEVER Znologien Society by the King the very remarkable zebra bybrud sont horae from South Africa by Lord Kitchener. It is scarcely too much to say that this animal, from a scientific point of view, is one of the most reinarkalite that has come into the possession of the Society for anang year. A representative of The Standen, who saw it at the Palace Mews, and who knows some of the zebra-horse hybrids produced by Professor Cosaur Ewart, at Tenycsik, says that in 'rasombles a well- This opinion in confirm- grow pony. el, to some extent, by the fact that ́on Saturday, afterisoen two grooms from Buckinghand absco Meris les it through the, streets,, from its boone hos there; without exciting my attention, to the Up- per Yani at the Zrologicsi Gardens, where i was hamediately placed in a drone box. į

The dorsal stripe is peculiar, tapering
wards the tail, while in Grévy's zebra it widens posteriorly. But for the bad wea ther, the animal wooki have been exhibited on Saturday. Mr Themeor, the Assistant Superintendent, now in charge, declined to
to the young Grévy cures depromited by the King into the paddocks, so there was no stall available for the new arrival, which still remains in the Upper Yard. It is officially described, in communication to the Zoological Society from the au thorities at the Royal Mews, as a "pony bred from a cross between a zebra and pony,' and as such, therefore, it will bo untered in the books of the Society. Before accepting this description, however, it will be well to wait to see what evidence in sup port is forthcoming. There is no known caso in which the evidence us to the fertility of an cupsine hybrid em be mail to ho con- vincing; it was admittedly very strong in the Kalapartha éase reported in the Field (Septonsbu 17, 1898) by Veterinary Capti Professor Costar Bwart remarks uin Guno.

The fact that the animal mow from the Remount Department at fatamesburg, and that it has been broken to saddle, may, it is to be hoped, incluce the authorities to inquire into the whole anatter, and take steps to utilise tho zebra (using the term to cover all forms found in British Africa, and, of course, toelnding Grévy's or the Somaliland zebra) either by direct domestication or for the production of hybrids, so that for transport purposes the Army need no longer be dependent on the supply of American or Spanish miles.
