514 THE HORSE'S POSITION IN THE ANIMAL WORLD 



For the rest of the story of the horse no further demand will be made 

 on the reader's patience or imagination. An active or perhaps a despairing

 cahallus, no longer necessary for man, will gradually disappear, and be 

 known to future enquirers only through the science of paleontology.
