1905. ] ON A HORSE BEARING HORN-LIKE STRUCTURES. 323 
almost entirely white, and its dimensions, taken in the flesh, are 
as follows :— 
Head and body 341 mim., tail 65, hind foot 82, ear 70; weight 
2 lbs. #0z. The skull’s greatest length 75 mm., basal length 57:5. 
It seems curious that this Rabbit does not occur on the main- 
land of Crete, and I have found no record of its having done so 
formerly. Raulin wrote* of it as being very plentiful in the 
small islands off the coast, and a man who brought me three from 
Dhia, off Candia, said that it is still found there in considerable 
numbers. 
16. CAPRA #GAGRUS CRETENSIS Lorenz-Liburnau 7. 
The Cretan Wild Goat has been known from very early times, 
and has doubtless acquired an added interest on account of the 
legend of Zeus’ upbringing on Mount Ida by the goat Amalthea. 
It is still found in the three main mountain masses of the island— 
the Aspro Vouno, Mount Ida, and the Lassethe Mountains. One 
skin, that of a ¢, was forwarded to me in the spring of the 
present year (1905), it having been obtained during the winter 
in the Sphakia district. The horns indicate an animal of eight 
years old, and measure 605 mm. along the front curve, while the 
circumference at the base is 175mm. ‘The greatest length cf 
horn given by Dr. Lorenz-Liburnau £ for this subspecies is 81 em. 
(810 mm.), this being in a seven-year old specimen preserved in 
the Vienna Museum.

Dr. Henry Woopwarp, F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 
Mr. J.T. Cunningham, M.A., F.Z.S., exhibited some photo- 
graphs of a Horse bearing structures that’ he interpreted as 
incipient horns, and made the following remarks :— 
The peculiarity of the horse represented in these photographs 
was described by Dr. G. W. Eustace, of Arundel, before the 
Linnean Society in 1903. The horse, the name of which is 
“¢ Domain,” was then in the stables of Mr. Alfred Day at ‘ The 
Hermitage’ near Arundel, and was still there when, by the 
‘kindness of Mr. Day, these photographs were taken for me in 
October last. A few other similar cases have been recorded, but 
the pedigree of Domain contains no individuals which are known 
to have possessed the peculiarity, and it appears therefore to be 
a new variation, not a result of reversion or heredity. 
Dr. Eustace’s paper was illustrated by plaster casts of the fore- 
head of Domain which are now in the Natural History Museum, 
and Dr. Ridewood has presented to the Museum the frontal
