nuinbers of the Breeders Gazette, containing an illustrated edito- 

 rial on the points of horses. This emphasized the importance of 

 the subject and at once started the note taking and the collection 

 of photographs which seem essential features for a work like this. 

 Since then the same source has been frequently drawn upon. The 

 writer has also found it very desirable to keep in touch with the 

 London Live Stock .hmrnal, as weli as many other publications 

 along this line included in the American press. Among contempo- 

 rary works, Capt. Hayes' " Points of the Horse," Goubaux and 

 Barrier's " Exterior of the Horse, " LTnderhill's " Driving for 

 Pleasure" and many others have been consulted. To continue 

 acknowledging all the sources ot assistance to the writer, would 

 require another volume but let it suffice to say — there are hundreds 

 of American, Canadian and British breeders to whom he vividly 

 recognizes bis debt but feels utterly unable to adequately acknowl- 

 edge it.
