TextThe onager, or wild afs, has, by fome authors, been confounded with the zebra; but very improperly, for this latit is a distinct species. for the onager is not freeskall for this, now is his shape of favourite. "Wild also are fail to be very twift of course’s and when they fee a man, they make a bound, and im- medically fly away; I donuts, that there is no is king of them, but by vraps and guns. They have much the fame these as common affes; but they are of a brighter colour, and there runs a white lift from the head to the tail. Of the hides of theirs, and particularly of that part next the runny, they make that excellent leather which we call flagreen, and which is putto fo many curious uses.

TextIn America they have nooffs at all, nor yet horles; but they have been carried thither long ago, atift by the Spaniards, and afterwards byother nations, where they have multiple greatly; ionomisch, that, in fome places, there are whole drows of them that run wild, and are very hard to be caught. Afes in general carry the bloodwell borders in proportion to their bulk; and, a their keeping coll little or nothing, it is a great wonder they are not put to more ufes than they generally are among us.

Text‘the Zebra is found no where but in the others and fourteen provinces of Africa, New Ethiopia to the Cape of Good Hope, and from the Cape of Good Hope to Congo. The Dutch have been at great pains to tame and die them for domestic purposes, but with little friends. He is in half monthock, and kicks when any person attempts to touch or come near him. He is scellle and oblitiare as a multe : but perhaps the wild holde is naturally as unsuitable as the Zebra; for, it is probably. If were early occultured to obdelense and a domelie life, he would become as docile as the horle.
