Dear Sir; 



It took a little time to dig out the histoiy of the 

 "Rearing Horse ani Man". The skeletons were prepared and mounted 

 by S. H. Chubb in 190h. A note in our AMEHICAfi MUSUEH JOURNAL 

 for July 19liO (Vol. h, No. 3) says; 



"The study represents the horse as rearing to his full 

 height, the man runninc beside him and controlling him with a 

 halter. It is faithfully worked out from instantaneous photographs, 

 and is suggestive of the breaking and training of the Horse by Man. 

 It likewise illustrates the resemblances and differences in the two 

 skeletons. Their nearly similar position makes it easy to com- 

 pare corresponding parts, and to see the original identity in plan 

 an! structure, and the changes that have been brought about in 

 adaptation to different modes of motion and habits of life in the 

 horse and in man". 



It is not known who the nan is! I am told the skeleton 

 was probably purchased from Wards and remounted by Mr. Chubb. 



I am s ending herewith a copy of our Guide Leaflet Series 

 No. 36 which has a photograph of this group. Also a copy of the 

 March 1936 issue of NATURAL HISTORY, containing a short account 

 of Mr. Chubb and his work (pages 22li-227). 



I trust this will five you the information you desire. 

 Very truly yours.
