I once saw a mule with its legs so much striped that any one might have thought that it was a hybrid zebra; and Mr. W.
C.
Martin, in his excellent treatise on the horse, has given a figure of a similar mule.
In four coloured drawings, which I have seen, of hybrids between the ass and zebra, the legs were much more plainly barred than the rest of the body; and in one of them there was a double shoulder-stripe.
