INITIATIVE IN EVOLUTION 



By way of confirmation of the view that this is the modus 

 operandi one has only to point to the other seven regions shown in 

 Figs. 49 and 50, in which the connection between the pressure of 

 harness and the production of a new pattern is beyond all doubt 

 one of cause and effect. 



Fig. 55. — Brown cart horse, examined 

 25th October, 1914. Whorl, feather- 

 ing and crest (W F C) in middle line 

 of under surface of neck beginning 

 underneath collar and proceeding 

 vertically upwards for six inches. 



Fig. 56. — Bright bay pony, examined 

 29th October, 1914. Very muscular 

 neck. On under surface on each 

 side a wide curving stream of hair 

 passing towards middle line and 

 joining in a central upward stream 

 ending above in a tuft (T). 



The Proof of Transmission of Pattern. 

 Third. — To show that the effects produced by pressure in 

 one generation are sometimes inherited by its descendants it is 

 necessary to examine a few examples of young horses who have 

 never borne the yoke as yet.
