 and, it is believed, without having had a foal. 

 It may appear that I am wasting time on 

 an individual case, but really it is more

 can be proved that energy can get into an 

 animal by a simple variation without work 

 being performed to concentrate it, then we 

 must go back and revise general principles. 

 My opinion is that this case is consistent 

 with general principles but that it represents 

 a rare combination which it would require too 

 much space to discuss here. I have, how-

 case needing further investigation, I will 

 leave it as a partial enigma.
