The warts are rarely absent on the hind legs, for it is stated 
that “‘the bay mare Eaglet was without sallenders on the hock 
joint.”—Jamaica Times, 1845, Aug. 26.

The figure of the Wild Horse as giver by Gmelin very much 
resembles the ponies left at liberty on the commons of Cornwall 
and mountains of Scotland, and it appears very doubtful if they are 
not rather to be considered as domestic horses which have escaped 
and deteriorated. Pallas observes that the very young are easily 
tamed, but the adult never. (7. R. A. 260.) It is to be observed 
that this is not the case with the horses which have become semi- 
wild in the rich prairies of America, where they have retained the 
size and form of the well-bred horse.
