To return to the opportunities of horse breeding— we have to 

 find out something by breeding the pure Arab mare with twenty- 

 three vertebrae to the Thoroughbred, the Trotter and Morgan, 

 which are kindred types with twenty-four vertebrae, and, by re- 

 search, discover how many, if not all, of the produce will have 

 twentv-three vertebrae; also what the result would be from the 

 second generation by breeding to each of the original types.
