1785, Count de Buffon [i.e., Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon], “The Zebra. ”, in William Smellie, transl., Natural History, General and Particular, Translated into English. , 2nd edition, volume VI, London: Printed for W Strahan and T Cadell, , →OCLC, pages 274 and 275:[page 274] The fertile mule of Tartary, called czigithai, may perhaps be an animal of the ſame ſpecies with the zebra; for there ſeems to be no difference between them, but in colour. […] [page 275] [I]f the czigithai is not the ſame with the zebra, it may be the Aſiatic animal called onager or wild aſs. The onager ſhould not be confounded with the zebra; but I am uncertain whether the ſame remark is applicable to the onager and czigithai; for, from comparing the relations of travellers, it appears, that there are different kinds of wild aſſes, of which the onager is the moſt remarkable.
