Excerpt from Monograph of the Okapi The material on which the Atlas is based consists in the first place of the Series of Skins, Skulls and other bones in the British Museum, and in the second place of specimens which have been lent for the purpose of illustration and of photographs given by museums or private owners. Special thanks are due to Sir H. H. Johnston, the late Mr. Boyd Alexander and Major powell-cotton for the presentation of specimens of the Okapi, and to the Hon. Walter Rothschild, Mr. Rowland Ward, Mr. IV. Eagle Clarke, and the directors of numerous foreign museums for the loan of Specimens or for the gift of photographs. The figures which it has thus been possible to put together in Plates 1 and 29 - 46 illustrate the variability of the Skin-markings, while those of skulls Shown in Plates 2 - 18 constitute an important contribution to the discussion of the problem as to the existence of two races of Okapi, with broad and narrow skulls respectively.
