Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Penycuik Experiments
When I came to seriously consider the infection or telegony problem, it was at once evident that a special study of the bands, stripes, and other markings in the Equidae was indispensable. Though much has been written bearing on the coloration of zebras, I failed to find anything approaching a full account of the plan of the stripes in even the mountain zebra (eqaus zebra), which has been almost constantly under observation in England for more than a century. Hence the necessity of working up, as far as the available material permitted, the whole coloration question in the Equidae, and hence it is that so much space is occupied with a description of the bands and stripes in my zebra stallion, and with pointing out how he differs from other zebras and from zebra hybrids.
