2 THE PEJEVALSKY HORSE. 



it is not necessary that I should limit myself to the consideration 

 of the single specimen captured by N. M. Prjevalsky, especially 

 seeing that I can extend my investigations by the examination 

 of the material accumulated, as the result of further expeditions, 

 in the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of Science. 

 I have also been able to examine those living representatives of 

 this interesting equine species which are in the Imperial stables at 

 Tsarskoe-Selo.*
