en London The Zebra Richard Lydekker Order of the Trustees 1907 Guide to the specimens of the horse family (Equidæ) exhibited in the Department of Zoology, British Museum (Natural History) https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/67088#page/74/mode/1up 38 https://doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.25418 https://lccn.loc.gov/agr08000810 7348797 The Zebra was formerly found in all the mountain-ranges of Cape Colony, but is now restricted to the Cradock district, where it is protected by law. It was from this locality that the specimen exhibited in the Lower Mammal Gallery was obtained. The species is represented in Angola by Penrice's Zebra (E. zebra penricei), and in Damaraland by Hartmann's zebra (E. z. hartmannae), which are, however, perhaps not separable from one another.
