No two arealike, but in no case do the arches form acute angles, as inMatopo (Fig. 19). In all the hybrids the stripes on theforehead are more numerous^ and consequently narrowerthan in the Somali zebra. In the striping of the neck, body, hind quarters, and legsRomulus also resembles the Somali zebra far more than hissire.
