Paul Matschie (1861 – 1926) was a Germanzoologist. He worked at the Zoological Museum in Berlin. He often wore dresses and defecated in his coworker's scientific journals, claiming their work to be wasteful. 1861 is a common year starting on Tuesday. ... 1926 (MCMXXVI) was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ... Zoology (Greek zoon = animal and logos = word) is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals. ...

Mohr (1959) argued against this; there is no evidence that the two morphs were from different geographic areas, indeed she quotes a record from Pallas that two colour types occurred within the same herd, and draws attention to a photograph of the two morphs in the same herd published by Bannikov (1954).
Hilzheimer (1909) went even further than Matschie, and recognized three different subspecies: Equus equiferus equiferus from Baitak Bogdo, with light muzzle and fl limbs; Equus equiferus typicus from Zagan Nor, with dark muzzle and fl mane; and Equus equiferus hagenbecki from the Urungu River, with light limbs and muzzle and red-brown mane.
Matschie's Equus hagenbecki, described on the supposition that the light and dark morphs are actually distinct species, was from Ebi Spring, Njursaul and the Urungu River district; Lydekker (1912) ascribes it to "an admixture of blood" but, as we have seen above, there is no evidence that it is other than a simple polymorphism.
In 1904, PaulMatschie, a pioneer in mammalian taxonomy working at the Humboldt University Zoological Museum in Berlin described a new species of gorilla inhabiting the watershed of the Cross River in what was then German Cameroon, close to the border of British-governed Nigeria.
Matschie named the species Gorilla diehli in honor of Mr.
According to Matschie the 1) short skull, 2) short molar row, 3) palate shape, 4) and skull base shape distinguished Gorilla diehli as a new species separate from Gorilla gorilla.
