WILD TARPAN AND ITS RELATIONS loi 



Equus cabaUtis celticus having been proposed by- 

 Professor Ewart^ in 1903 for the so-called Celtic 

 pony of the North of Ireland, the Hebrides, Faroes, 

 and Iceland, and therefore antedating the name 

 agilis. 



The third modification recognised by the same 

 author ■■ is the forest-type, which is said to be repre- 

 sented by remains from the so-called "elephant- 

 bed " at Kemp Town, near Brighton, and by the 

 aforesaid horse from the Palaeolithic station at 

 Solutre, northward of Lyons. This forest-type, 

 which, it will be noticed, is different from the one 

 so called by Dr. Duerst, is stated to have been a 

 long low horse, probably characterised by a rela- 

 tively broad and concave forehead, short, thick 

 cannon-bones, wide hoofs, and long grinding surfaces 

 to the anterior pillars of the upper cheek-teeth. 

 The name Equus robustus (which Dr. Duerst regards 

 as a synonym of ger7nanicus) is adopted by Pro- 

 fessor Ewart for his forest-type, as typified by the 

 Solutre horses. 



The recognition by the writer last named of a 

 so-called Siwalik type — that is to say, one related 

 to the Pliocene Equus sivalensis of India — among 

 the remains at Newstead scarcely demands serious 

 notice. On the other hand, it is important to 

 mention that Dr. Marcellin Boule ^ has described
