Horses were introduced by the French in the Falkland Islands in 

 1764, since which time they have greatly increased. They have 

 never left the eastern end of the island, although there is no natural 

 boundary to prevent them from roaming, and that part of the island 

 is not more tempting than the rest. The staUions are said to be 

 constantly roaming from place to place, and compelling the mares 

 to accompany them, whether or not the yovmg foals are able to 

 follow, and they are left to die. The predominant colours are roaa 

 and iron-grey. 



AH the horses bred here, both tame and wild, are rather small- 

 sized, though generally in good condition, and they are not so strong 

 as the horses from the Plata. — Darwin, Journal, p. 192. 



The Horse was first landed at Buenos Ajrres in 1537, and, the 

 colony being then for a time deserted, it ran wild : in 1580, only 

 forty-three years afterwards, one hears of them at the Strait of Ma- 

 gellan. The natives of Terra del Fuego are well stocked with horses, 

 each man having six or seven, and all the women and even children 

 their own horse. — Darwin, Journal, p. 233; Rengger, Natur. 

 Saugeth. Paragua, p. 334. 



The soldiers in Bahia Blanca eat mares' flesh for food. — Darwin, 

 Journal, p. 101. 



In Banda Oriental they think it ridiculous to break in or ride a 

 mare ; they are of no value except for breeding, and, rarely, to tread 

 out the wheat from the ear, for which purpose they are driven round 

 a circular enclosure where the wheat sheaves are strewn. Numbers 

 are slaughtered for the sake of their hides, although only worth about 

 half-a-crown apiece. — Darwin, Journ. p. 134.
