have come. This view, in the light of Prof. Ridgeway's observ- 

 ations, becomes more than doubtful. 



We have shown that this book is of great interest to the 

 biologist, for it approaches an old problem from a perfectly 

 new angle. It is no less interesting to the classical scholar, 

 who will find a vast amount of information throwing a vivid 

 light upon early classical archaeology. The scientific breeder 

 will profit greatly by the illustrations, and he will learn a 

 valuable lesson as to the importance of knowing something 

 about the history of the horse as he studies the remarks con- 

 cerning the possible pending destruction of the old Irish 

 hobbie by the careless introduction into that breed of alien 

 blood through hackney sires introduced in ignorance by the 

 Congested Districts Board. We can strongly commend this 

 masterly work to the attention of all intelligent readers.
