Of these there are six or seven kinds perhaps more. First, there is the "wild ass," which, as already stated, extends from Asia into the north-eastern parts of Africa, contiguous to the former continent. Next there is the "koomrah," of which very little is known, except that it inhabits the forests of Northern Africa, and is solitary in its habits, unlike most of the other species.

The koomrah has been described as a "wild horse," but, most probably, it belongs to the genus asinus. Now there are four other species of "wild-asses" in Africa wild horses some call them and a fifth reported by travellers, but as yet undetermined.
